Recipe Tips
- Use Full-Fat Ingredients
For the creamiest, most decadent Oreo Lasagna, full-fat cream cheese and whole milk work best. They add richness to the layers, especially the cream cheese mixture and chocolate pudding. Low-fat alternatives can result in a thinner texture, making the lasagna less firm when sliced. - Chill for Optimal Slicing
To get neat and defined layers, allow the lasagna to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This ensures the layers set and makes it easier to cut into clean, presentable slices. If you’re short on time, even an hour in the freezer can help firm it up. - Oreo Crumble Topping
For an extra flavor boost, toast your reserved Oreo crumbs in the oven for a few minutes before sprinkling them over the top layer of Cool Whip. This intensifies the Oreo flavor and adds a slightly crunchy texture that complements the creamy layers below.
What to Serve with Oreo Lasagna
- Vanilla Ice Cream
A scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside a slice of Oreo Lasagna creates a perfect balance. The cold, smooth ice cream offsets the richness of the lasagna and adds a refreshing element to the indulgent dessert. - Fresh Berries
To cut through the sweetness, serve this Oreo Lasagna with fresh berries like raspberries or strawberries. The tartness of the berries offers a bright contrast to the chocolatey richness and creaminess, creating a balanced dessert experience. - Espresso or Coffee
Pairing Oreo Lasagna with a strong espresso or a cup of black coffee is a great way to enhance the flavors. The bitterness of coffee beautifully contrasts the dessert’s sweetness, rounding out the overall flavor profile.

Oreo Lasagna
Ingredients
- 1 package of regular Oreos
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 16 oz Cool Whip divided
- 1 5.9 oz package chocolate instant pudding mix
- 2 3/4 cups cold milk
Instructions
- Begin by crushing the entire package of Oreos using a food processor. Reserve one cup of the crushed Oreos to use as a topping once the lasagna is assembled.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining Oreo crumbs with melted butter, ensuring the mixture is evenly coated. Press this crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish to create the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend half of the Cool Whip, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar using an electric mixer. Beat until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the Oreo crust and transfer the dish to the refrigerator to chill while preparing the next layer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate instant pudding mix and cold milk for several minutes until it begins to thicken. Once the pudding has reached a thicker consistency, spread it evenly over the cream cheese layer. Let the pudding layer sit for about 10 minutes to allow it to firm up.
- After the pudding has set, spread the remaining Cool Whip over the pudding layer, smoothing it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs on top as a finishing touch.
- Chill the Oreo Lasagna for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set properly.
