The Art of Oreo Lasagna
The key to perfect Oreo Lasagna is clean, even layers and enough chill time to let everything set. Pressing the crust firmly creates a sturdy base, while gently spreading each layer keeps them distinct. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and makes slicing neat and beautiful.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Oreo Crust
Mix crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter until evenly combined.
Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form an even crust.
Refrigerate while preparing the layers.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer
In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
Gently fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy.
Spread evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
3. Make the Chocolate Pudding Layer
Whisk instant chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until thickened.
Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
4. Add the Final Topping
Spread whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
Sprinkle generously with crushed Oreos.
Optional: add chocolate chips or drizzle with chocolate syrup.
5. Chill to Set
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until fully set.
