Ingredients
- 36 Oreo Cookies
- 6 tablespoons Melted Butter
- 8 oz Cream Cheese
- 3 cups Powdered Sugar
- 8 oz Whipped Topping
- 3.9 oz Chocolate Instant Pudding Mix
- 3 cups Milk
- 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
Crust Preparation
Start by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place them in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Cream Cheese Layer
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Gently fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
Chocolate Pudding Layer
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate instant pudding mix and milk until the pudding is smooth and starts to thicken (about 2 minutes). Pour the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
Whipped Topping Layer
Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the chocolate pudding layer. Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips over the top.
Chilling
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set completely.
Serving
Cut into squares and serve cold. Enjoy this delicious and easy no-bake chocolate lasagna!
