This no-bake chocolate lasagna has layers of crushed Oreos, cream, chocolate pudding and chocolate chips! Does it get any better than that?!
Favorite Chocolate Dessert
I love chocolate! There’s no denying that. I’m excited to share this chocolate lasagna recipe with you. I tried this many years ago and finally recreated it. It was so unbelievably easy to make and absolutely delicious!
One of my favorite things about this Oreo lasagna is that it requires absolutely no baking! I love easy no-bake desserts when I’m short on time and want to whip something up quick.
Each layer in this chocolate lasagna is just heavenly. It almost reminds of my oreo ice cream cake and the chocolate lasagna from Olive Garden but in my opinion, better! This recipe is definitely a must try for all you chocolate lovers out there!
4 Delicious Layers
- Oreo crust layer. A simple combination of crushed Oreos and butter make the perfect Oreo crust for this dessert. Just press the mixture into the bottom of a greased baking dish and chill it in the fridge for 5 minutes to set.
- Cream layer. This layer tastes similar to cheesecake and is creamy and smooth. Whip your cream cheese until fluffy, then stir in milk and sugar. Then fold in a cup of cool whip to give it a lighter consistency. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the Oreo cookie crust and chill in fridge for 5 more minutes.
- Chocolate pudding layer. Whisk together the pudding mix and milk until thick. Then spread over cream layer and refrigerate until the pudding sets, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Cool whip layer. Spread on the remaining cool whip over the pudding and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Chill in fridge for 3-4 hours before serving.
Tips for the Best Oreo Lasagna
- Keep the cream in the center of the Oreo cookies. Using a blender or food processor is the easiest way to crush them into fine cookie crumbs.
- Soften the cream cheese at room temperature before mixing the cream filling so that it gets nice and fluffy.
- The pudding consistency should be thick. Make sure it has time to set in the fridge so it doesn’t run!
- After you add a layer, chill the dessert in the fridge for about 5 to 10 minutes before adding the next one on top.
- I’d recommend keeping this dish in the fridge as long as possible before serving. I like to pull it out right before serving.
- We always top our chocolate lasagna with mini chocolate chips, but more crushed Oreos would taste fantastic too.
Making in Advance
This chocolate lasagna dessert can easily be made 24 hours in advance. The longer it sits the softer the Oreo crust will become, so I don’t like to prep it more than 48 hours ahead of time.
Another option is to prepare the crust and keep the remaining layers separate. Then assemble the dessert when you’re ready to chill and serve.

This is my go-to dessert. Especially for events. We had a fund raiser a few months back and a pan of my chocolate lasgna sold for $100.00! 😵 Love love this dessert and I actually use both on top, mini chocolate chips AND crushed Oreos.
Oh my, that’s amazing!! This makes me so happy to hear, thank you for sharing! :)
I have instant vanilla pudding mix that I want to use. Any tips on how much cocoa powder/melted chocolate I may add to make it a chocolate pudding
I haven’t tried, but I’d start with about 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Taste and add more if needed.
5 picky kids actually at it and they don’t eat anything!
Yay! Love to hear that!! Thanks for your comment and review, Erica :)
