Oreo Lasagna Recipe
Introduction
Oreo Lasagna is a no-bake dessert that combines layers of crushed Oreo cookies, creamy cheesecake filling, and rich chocolate pudding. This indulgent treat is perfect for Oreo lovers looking for a simple yet impressive dessert to share.
Ingredients
- 48 Oreo cookies (finely crushed)
- 10 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
- 12 ounces cream cheese (room temperature, about 1 ½ bricks)
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces Cool Whip (thawed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 Oreo cookies (finely crushed)
- 3 cups half and half or whole milk
- 7.8 ounces (2 boxes of 3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 6 Oreo cookies (finely crushed)
- 8 ounces Cool Whip (thawed)
- 12 Oreo cookies (finely crushed)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, mix the 48 crushed Oreos with the melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to create the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the next layer.
- Step 2: Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large bowl using a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add 8 ounces of Cool Whip and vanilla extract, then beat until well combined. Gently fold in 6 crushed Oreos.
- Step 3: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the Oreo crust. Return the dish to the refrigerator while preparing the pudding layer.
- Step 4: In a large bowl, whisk together the half and half (or whole milk) and instant chocolate pudding mix until the pudding thickens, about 2 minutes. Fold in 6 crushed Oreos.
- Step 5: Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to set slightly.
- Step 6: Spread the remaining 8 ounces of Cool Whip over the pudding layer. Sprinkle the final 12 crushed Oreos on top evenly.
- Step 7: Refrigerate the entire dessert for at least four hours, or until fully set, before serving.
Tips & Variations
- For a richer crust, use melted butter with a touch of sugar or substitute half the Oreos with chocolate graham crackers.
- Use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip for a fresher taste.
- Try adding a layer of chocolate ganache on top before sprinkling crushed Oreos for extra decadence.
- Allow the dessert to chill overnight for the best texture and flavor.

FAQs
Can I use a different kind of cookie for the crust?
Yes, you can substitute Oreos with similar chocolate sandwich cookies or chocolate graham crackers for a slightly different flavor and texture.
Is it necessary to let the dessert chill for four hours?
Chilling for at least four hours allows the layers to set properly and the flavors to meld, resulting in a better texture and taste. Overnight chilling is even better.

Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, mix the finely crushed 48 Oreo cookies with the melted salted butter until the mixture is well combined. Press this cookie mixture into an even layer in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the next layer.
- Make the cream cheese layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese together with the powdered sugar using a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.

- Prepare the pudding layer: In a large bowl, whisk together the half and half (or whole milk) with the instant chocolate pudding mix until the pudding thickens, following package instructions (approximately 2 minutes). Fold in the 6 finely crushed Oreo cookies. Spread an even layer of the pudding over the cream cheese layer. Place the dessert back in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to allow the pudding to slightly set.
- Add the top layer: Spread the remaining 8 ounces of thawed Cool Whip over the pudding layer evenly. Finally, sprinkle the 12 finely crushed Oreo cookies on top as a garnish.
- Chill the dessert: Refrigerate the Oreo lasagna for at least four hours (preferably overnight) to allow all layers to set and flavors to meld before serving.
