Ingredients of No-Bake Oreo Lasagna

Oreo Cookies: 1 package (14.3 ounces), regular, not double-stuffed
Salted Butter: 1/2 cup (1 stick), melted
Cream Cheese: 8 ounces, softened to room temperature
Powdered Sugar: 1 cup
Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
Frozen Whipped Topping (Cool Whip): 16 ounces, thawed
Half and Half or Whole Milk: 3 cups
Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix: 2 packages (3.9 ounces each)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Oreo Crust

In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they are finely crushed. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Reserve 1 cup of the crushed Oreos for topping.
In a medium bowl, mix the remaining crushed Oreos with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to create an even crust.
Refrigerate the crust to firm it up while you prepare the next layer.

Cream Cheese Layer

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until well combined.
Gently fold in 1 cup of thawed Cool Whip until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
Spread the cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
Return the dish to the refrigerator to set while preparing the pudding layer.

Chocolate Pudding Layer

In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mixes and half and half (or whole milk) until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
Let the pudding sit for an additional 2 minutes to fully set.
Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer, smoothing it with a spatula.
Place the dish back in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to allow the pudding to firm up slightly.

Whipped Topping Layer

Carefully spread the remaining Cool Whip over the chocolate pudding layer, creating a smooth and even top layer.
Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of crushed Oreos over the Cool Whip layer for garnish.

Chill and Serve

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, slice into squares with a sharp knife and use a spatula to lift the pieces from the dish. Enjoy!

Tips for Success of No-Bake Oreo Lasagna

Crush Oreos Consistently: To get a firm crust, make sure the Oreo crumbs are finely crushed and evenly mixed with the butter.

Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Allow the cream cheese to soften to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free layer.

Set Pudding Properly: Whisk the pudding for the recommended time and let it sit briefly to thicken before spreading it over the cream cheese layer.

Chill Thoroughly: Patience is key—chilling the dessert ensures the layers hold together beautifully when sliced.

Make It Your Own: Experiment with different pudding flavors or Oreo varieties for a fun twist. Mint Oreos or peanut butter pudding are great options!

Recipe Variations

Mint Oreo Lasagna: Use Mint Oreo cookies and add a few drops of peppermint extract to the cream cheese layer for a refreshing twist.

Peanut Butter Delight: Swap the chocolate pudding for peanut butter pudding, and garnish with crushed peanut butter cups.

Red Velvet Dream: Use red velvet Oreos and cream cheese pudding for a colorful dessert perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free Oreos or a similar cookie to make this dessert suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.

Storing and Serving

Storage: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezing: While the texture may change slightly, you can freeze the dessert for up to 1 month. Wrap the entire dish tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

Serving Suggestions: Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture. This dessert pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk.
