The trick to making the perfect chocolate lasagna is not making it too sweet, or letting it get soggy. You’re in luck! I’m a chocolate lasagna pro, and I’m sharing my tried and true steps for a no-bake dessert made in just 20 minutes with 5 amazing layers.
In a food processor or blender, blend the oreos until you have fine crumbs. Remove 1 tbsp of crumbs and set aside for the topping.
In a mixing bowl combine oreo crumbs and melted butter. Stir until thick.
Using your fingers or the bottom of a glass, firmly press the crust into a 9x13 inch pan.
Wipe out the mixing bowl and add the cream cheese. Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer for 90 seconds, until fluffy.
Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add in 1 container of cool whip, mix. Spread this mixture evenly over the crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Rinse out the mixing bowl and dry. Beat together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until thick. Spread this mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Top with the remaining container of cool whip. Sprinkle the reserved 1 tbsp of oreo crumbs over the top, plus sprinkle on chocolate shavings. The easiest way to make chocolate shavings is to take a Hershey’s bar and use a vegetable peeler to make shavings and curls. Transfer the shavings to the dessert using a spoon, that way the heat from your fingers won’t melt the tiny chocolate pieces!
Cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Best served within 48 hours.
