Chocolate Lasagna Recipe

Do desserts get any easier than having an amazing no-bake recipe? Add the fact that it’s a mouthwatering, chocolate and oreo treat and I’m 100% making it. No questions asked.

Seriously though, this recipe couldn’t get any easier. It’s no bake, there are minimal ingredients, and there are just four easy layers to put together. You can even get by using just one dish, which makes for a quick and painless clean up!

This is a great dessert for summer. Since it’s no bake, it means I don’t have to turn on my oven or stove and heat up the house. It’s also great because it’s served chilled and has a pudding and cool whip base, keeping it light! But, the lightness doesn’t mean it lacks richness or flavor. It’s mouthwateringly good.

It seems like there are always neighborhood and family events coming up during the summer. We usually have the “bring a dish to pass” mentality, something we can serve a crowd of people. This dessert dish is the perfect thing to bring. Everyone goes crazy for it.

I love Oreos and all things Oreo flavor, but if you’re not a huge fan you can also switch up the toppings, or add in your favorite chocolate candy as well. Mint chocolate fan? You can add Andes mints, or if you’re a peanut butter and chocolate person (who isn’t?!) you can add Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!

Here are the ingredients and instructions for making this incredible, easy dessert.

No-Bake Chocolate Lasagna Ingredients

Here is the list of ingredients to make sure you have on hand to put this no-bake chocolate lasagna together. I like to keep some of them on hand, and some of them I almost always have in my pantry anyway!

If you want to change up your recipe and add your favorite type of chocolate candy, you’ll want to make sure you also have that.

• 1 box of instant vanilla pudding
• 1 box of instant chocolate pudding
• 1 14.3 oz package of Oreo cookies (regular, not double stuffed)
• 8 oz block of cream cheese
• 16 oz container of cool whip
• ½ a cup of melted margarine
• 3 cups of milk
• 1 cup of powdered sugar
• Chocolate syrup

Optional topping: chocolate curls, chocolate chips or your favorite kind of chocolate candy

How to Make Chocolate Lasagna

Making this mouthwatering dessert takes four steps. Much like a normal lasagna, there are different layers, and each layer can be considered its own step. Here are the steps for each of the four layers:

Layer One:
First, add the whole Oreos to a food processor and pulse until you have even sized Oreo crumbles. Make sure to set aside one cup of these crushed Oreos for the topping at the end.

If you don’t have a food processor or just don’t feel like taking it out and then cleaning it… you can also just throw the Oreos in a ziplock bag and crush them with a mallet or rolling pin!

Next, mix the crushed Oreos with half a cup of the melted margarine. Then, pat this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Firmly press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan.

Place the crust formation in the fridge to chill and set.

Layer Two:
Mix together the 8 ounces of cream cheese, 8 ounces of Cool Whip (½ the container), and one cup of powdered sugar.

Take the crust out of the fridge and add a layer of this cream cheese mixture to it, then place the entire thing back in the fridge to continue to chill.

Layer Three:
Mix one small package of instant vanilla pudding and one small package of instant chocolate pudding together with three cups of cold milk. Again, take the pan out of the fridge and spread the pudding mixture on top of the cream cheese layer, then place it back in the fridge.

Layer Four:
Finally, spread the remaining 8 ounces of Cool Whip over the third layer. Sprinkle the remaining crumbled Oreos on top. Drizzle a light layer of chocolate syrup over the entire cake. Top with chocolate curls, mini chocolate chips or your favorite chocolate candy (chopped into small pieces) as a garnish if you like.

Make sure to refrigerate the pie until you’re ready to serve it, and in between servings. It will melt quickly and it’s much better when it’s had time to set in the fridge.

Tips for Making Chocolate Lasagna

You will want to let each layer set in the fridge for a little bit. Doing this is what will really give it the layered lasagna look. It’s the most important for the Oreo and melted butter crust layer.

As I mentioned above, I like to use the food processor to crush the Oreo crust, it really gets them finely mashed up. But, if you don’t have one, no worries! The other option is to put the oreos in a large ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to smash them to your desired crumbles!

Additional Toppings and Sides for Chocolate Lasagna

What doesn’t go good with chocolate? I mean, they make bacon and chocolate donuts… you could seriously add just about anything to this chocolate lasagna and in my opinion, it would only get better!

Here are a few of my favorite additions. First, I love the addition of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, because I love peanut butter as much as I love chocolate! I would also love to try adding Reese’s Pieces. I think they would add a nice little crunch!

Another great option is adding Andes mints, and going for the grasshopper type of dessert! You can also keep it simple and add some chocolate curls as a nice decorative garnish. Adding any type of chocolate candy would truly be a great addition.
