Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 package regular Oreos (1 pound or 48 cookies, ½ reserved for top layer)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted) This butter will blend beautifully into the crust!
For the cheesecake layer
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened) So creamy and rich for that perfect cheesecake layer.
  • ½ cup powdered sugar Just the right sweetness to balance the flavors.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Always a great enhancement for cream cheese.
  • 8 oz cool whip Makes everything airy and light.
For the pudding layer
  • 1 small package chocolate pudding (3.9 ounces) This brings that nostalgic chocolate flavor.
  • 1 small package vanilla pudding For a lovely contrast to the chocolate.
  • 3¼ cups milk To combine those delicious puddings.
  • 8 oz cool whip (yes, more!) For that delightful fluffy topping.
For the topping
  • ¼ cup chocolate sauce To drizzle over those final layers for an extra touch of sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by crushing the Oreos with your hands or a rolling pin until fine. Mix them with melted butter in a bowl until it looks like wet sand.
  2. Press this mix firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan to create the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.
Cheesecake Layer
  1. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Fold in 8 oz of cool whip gently using a spatula until fully mixed and smooth.
  3. Spread this cheesecake layer evenly over the chilled crust.
Pudding Layer
  1. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate and vanilla pudding mixes with 3¼ cups of milk until thickened.
  2. Spread this pudding layer gently over the cheesecake, smoothing it out.
Topping
  1. Spread the remaining cool whip over the pudding layer.
  2. Sprinkle reserved Oreo crumbs over the top and drizzle with chocolate sauce.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

Time-Saving Trick: Make the Chocolate Lasagna a day ahead for optimal flavor melding. Common Mistake Fix: Ensure the cream cheese is soft to mix smoothly by microwaving it for about 10 seconds. Creative Variation: Add a layer of peanut butter for an exciting twist.
