How To Make Chocolate Lasagna Step-By-Step Instructions
Prep Time: 35 minutes
Chill Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours 35 minutes
Servings: 20-25
- Crush 36 Oreo cookies. I use a food processor, but you could also place them in a large ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin or meat tenderizer mallet. Crush the cookies until the Oreos have turned into fine crumbs.
- Add the Oreo crumbs to a large mixing bowl. Stir in melted butter. Use a fork to mix the butter into the cookie crumbs.
- Transfer the mixture into a 9 x 13 inch non-stick cake pan, pressing the crumbs into the bottom of the dish with a silicone spatula.
- Place the cake pan into the refrigerator and work on the additional layers.
- In a large mixing bowl mix the cream cheese with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the milk and all of the sugar. Mix well.
- Add the chocolate liquor if desired.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups Cool Whip and completely mix in.
- Spread this mixture over the oreo crust.
- In a bowl, add 3 and 1/4 cups cold milk to the chocolate instant pudding. Whisk for several minutes until the pudding starts to thicken.
- Use a silicone spatula to spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer. Allow the dessert to firm up on the countertop for 5 minutes.
- Spread the remaining Cool Whip on top.
- Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top.
- Place in the freezer for 1 hour, or place in the refrigerator for 4 hours then serve.
- This dessert can be frozen for a week.
It looks so delicious and creamy!
