Make this creamy, decadent chocolate lasagna dessert. It features a crisp Oreo cookie crust, a sweet cream cheese layer, rich chocolate pudding, and a light whipped topping. This no-bake dessert is perfect for parties and potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 36 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
  • 8 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed (like Cool Whip)
  • 2 small boxes (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup whipped topping, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with the melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the dish in the refrigerator while you prepare the next layer.
  2. Make the cream cheese layer: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until fully combined. Gently fold in 8 ounces of the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is uniform and fluffy. Spread this cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled crust.
  3. Prepare the pudding layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and the cold milk for about two minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken. Let it sit for five minutes to set slightly. Spoon the chocolate pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Chill the dessert: Cover the dish loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least four hours, or until the pudding is firm. This chilling time is essential for a good no-bake dessert.
  5. Finish and serve: Before serving, spread the remaining 1 cup of whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer. You can use a fork to create decorative swirls. Slice into squares and serve this easy chocolate recipe cold.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, you can use a homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought whipped topping.
  • If you want a copycat dessert similar to Olive Garden, omit the milk in the pudding layer and use the amount specified on the pudding box for a thicker set.
  • This is a fantastic make ahead dessert; it tastes best when chilled overnight.
