No bake chocolate lasagna -layers of crushed oreos, cream, chocolate pudding and chocolate chips (aff)! Does it get any better than that?!
I love chocolate! There’s no denying that. The funny thing is… ever since I’ve moved to Ohio, I haven’t been able to find anyone who likes chocolate. All my friends here don’t like it! What?! Yeah I know…they’re crazy! But I still love them. I know you guys like chocolate, so I’m excited to share this recipe with you. I tried this many years ago and finally found a recipe that was the same. It was so unbelievably easy to make and absolutely delicious! 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!
Recipe adapted from OMG Chocolate Desserts
YUM! Now I’ll think I’ll have a bite (or two) for breakfast!

I am in love with this recipe! Pinned!
Oh my Yum! This looks so delicious! Pinning!
I made this and took it to a potluck. Was a big hit! Really light and delicious.
I’m so glad it was a hit! It always is one of the first things to go when I bring it to potlucks or BBQs! :)
Oh wow!! My daughter doesn’t like chocolate for some odd reason. It’s ok, just means more for me! :-D
Lucky you! This dessert is one I have to hide or else it will be gone too fast! :)
Mmmm. Now this is my kind of lasagna!
My husband told me his mom used to make this oreo layered cake for his birthday all the time and we couldn’t find the recipe! This is it..thank you!!!
This looks AMAZING, Jamielyn! Delish!
YUM! YUM! YUM!! LOVE this!!
Can this dessert be made the day before?
Yes it can! :)
Hi. I would love to make your recipe but what is Cool Whip? Is it thickened cream?
Thanks
Hi Maria! You could definitely use thickened cream, but cool whip is a product found in the freezer sections of most grocery stores! Here is a link so you can see what it looks like: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Kraft-Cool-Whip-Original-Whipped-Topping-8-oz/10801133.
Can you make this a day ahead of time, or will it turn mushy? I have a party coming up, but it’s the same day as my daughter’s soccer tournament, and I won’t have time to make it the morning of. I’d have to make it the night before. Has anyone let this set overnight? How did it turn out?
Hi Lisa! These pictures were actually taken the next day. It sets great overnight. :)
Thanks! I ended up making it the day of the party since I wasn’t sure. It was DEVOURED! The last piece came home with me, and I ate it the next day. I actually like it better after it has had a chance to set overnight…. although it was still amazing the day of. Thanks for a great recipe!
By any chance could it be made early on in the week and then frozen so it could be set out later on the weekend for an event?
Hi Kristy! I haven’t tried freezing this treat before, but I think it would work okay. It may change the consistency a little bit!
You must be in the wrong part of Ohio. I am a chocoholic and when I posted a picture of chocolate lasagna on my FB page, several people I work with asked me to bring it to work. Planning on making it soon!
I am a chocoholic as well. Let us know how it goes if you give it a try! :)
Do I crush the whole oreo cookie including the cream middle?
Do I crush the whole oreo cookie including the cream?
Yes, you crush the whole oreo! :)
I made this recipe for a Halloween party this past weekend and it was devoured. Everyone loved this dessert as it was very light and tasty.
I’m so glad! Thanks for your comment Jessica! :)
being a chocoholic diabetic,i hate to ask what the nutrition numbers are on theis,for carbs and sugars….
Hi Sheryl! I’m not sure, but there are some great resources online that can help you calculate them! :)
hello chocolate love
We don’t have the Cool whip stuff in New Zealand. What would you use to replace it please ?
Whipped cream! :)
My husband is a chocolate ADDICT,he just can’t help himself.So I know he will LOVE this recipe.It is really close to the icebox pie that I make for him.Thanks for another option.
Hope you both enjoy this recipe! We are chocolate addicts in my house too! :)
My pudding came out very soupy. Drenched the whole thing.
Hi Jenny! I’m sorry you had trouble with the pudding! Next time I would make sure that the pudding is thick and set. :)
Can you make this a day ahead of time, or will it turn mushy? I have a party coming up, but it’s the same day as my daughter’s soccer tournament, and I won’t have time to make it the morning of.
Yes definitely! These pictures were actually taken the next day. It sets great overnight. :)
I’m in Ohio, too, and I’ve been making this for YEARS! The whole family loves it, including those who are from the “vanilla” side of the family. This is their one exception. The only difference between your recipe and mine is that I reserve 1/4 cup of the crushed Oreos, to sprinkle on top instead of the chocolate chips. Plus, I like your name better. We just call it Oreo Dessert. Might have to change that, though. :)
Yum! Next time I may just have to sprinkle crushed oreos and chocolate chips on top. :)
I know, silly question, but how many does it serve :-) Want to make it as an alternative to birthday cake for my daughters 16th…
Hi Lucy! This serves as many as a 9×13 cake. It just depends how big the slices are you cut. But it should be between 18-28!
hey
this recipe looks amazing um what is actually cream cheese
and what should I use Instead of instant choco pudding and cool
as I couldn’t find both
What is cold milk? Milk from the fridge? Any type of milk will do?
Can’t wait to try it.
Yes, just milk from the fridge! :)
simply mouth watering!
How long does it usually take to get the cream cheese fluffy?
Just a couple minutes! :)
Any chance you could put a UK ingredients list up too please?
What’s Cool Whip and what’s Instant choc pudding please
Hi Karen! I am unsure of the ingredients in the UK, I’m sorry!
I am so crazy about chocolate!!!! This is soooo Amazing!!!!!
What is chocolate pudding….and what can be used instead….
Hi! There isn’t a good substitute for pudding, I’m sorry.
could you please tell me the recipe of the chocolate lasagna is for how many persons?
I want to do it for Easter and I have 12 persons.
thank you
regards
Hi Claude! This recipe serves about 15! :)
Can you use double stuffed Oreos?
That would be delicious! :)
when I used 3 1/4 cup of milk for the pudding, it never became thick enough. The box of pudding mix uses only 2 cups. So I modified that part of the recipe. Does 3 1/4 cup work only for whole milk?
Hi Becky! My only guess would be that you used a smaller box of pudding. I have had no trouble with the pudding getting thick. The whole milk does help give it a thicker texture though! :)
You have to 2 boxes of pudding mix. 3 1/4 cups of milk made mine nice and thick. I’m guessing you only used one box..
Hi Julie! I use 2 boxes of pudding mix. If you notice in the video, my pudding is pretty thick as well. You can definitely add a little more milk to thin it up a little bit! :)
Hi can i make this over night ??
Yes, it tastes delicious the next day.
I absolutely love this recipe! It’s always a huge hit at family events. In fact, I’m making it again today. This time, I’m using peanut butter stuffed Oreos instead of the regular ones. I’m excited to try it out! :)
Oh yummm, I am definitely going to have to give the peanut butter stuffed Oreos a try!
Hi there, l’m going to make this for a party this weekend. When it says to whip the cream cheese am l using a electric mixer? or just by hand? Just want to make clear before making it.
thanks
Using an electric mixer! :)
when it says to whip the cream cheese do you use a electric mixer or just use a spoon?
Going to make this dessert this weekend:)
With an electric mixer! :)
Hi! What kind of cheese did you use?
Hi Hiba! We used cream cheese, which is is also called Neufchâtel.
Hi! I want to try your recipe but don’ have cool whip in my city…is there any substitute for it? Thank you!
Hi Halima!
Trying making some lightly-sweetened whipped cream for the replacement. I usually add a tablespoon or two of sugar to a pint of cream.
Let us know if you make it! :)
I will let you know definitely whenever I make it! Thanks for the suggestion!
Yummy! I would make one right now, if I had oreo cookies :)

Can the cream cheese be substituted? I’m allergic to it!
Hi Rebecca! I haven’t tried to substitute the cream cheese, so I’m not sure how well it would work. I’ve heard of people using yogurt, so you could try that!
Looks good! Don’t like chocolate? Unusual! I guess more for you then :-) Great pictures!
Cant wait to try!
My bestie HATES chocolate. I always tell her it’s a wonder we’re friends. But then again, my husband doesn’t care for it either. What?! :) Of course it doesn’t stop me from indulging myself and giving my kids fair exposure to justify making chocolate desserts more often. This looks like a great one to try! :)
In the picture the crust looks like it was made without the cream of the oreo’s, did you make it with only the cookie part?
Nope, it had the cream in them – we just ground it up a bit finely so that the cream incorporated into the cookie parts. :)
How many days before can this be made? I have a party in 3 days and only time to make it tonight.
Make it and store it in the fridge, it will be perfect! :)
We’ve made this for years. It was always one of my mom’s go to recipes because everyone always requested it!! We called it Oreo Cookie Surprise though and instead of chocolate chips on top we old back 1/4 cup cookie crumbs to sprinkle on top. =) Now that I am required to “cook” things for functions (sigh) I usually make this and it’s often requested.
Can I use almond milk to make the pudding?
I haven’t tried that before! If you do, please let me know how it goes!
I tried this, it’s so good! I added some peppermint extract to cream cheese and cool whip mixture. Was amazing. Mint chocolate taste
I’m trying this recipe for the first time but I’m making the pudding from scratch. How much will this need? One recipe of pudding makes 4 cups!
Thanks so much
This needs right around 4 cups of pudding, so making one batch should be perfect! :)
Have made this several times and it gets asked for often! My sr. son is having friends over to watch an NFL game and he told me they all want me to make this again! Being they are high school boys, I might even make TWO PANS! Thanks for the easy yumminess!
Yay! So glad they enjoy it!
Can this recipe be froze after its made ?
I haven’t tried — with the amount of dairy, I’m concerned about the texture the ice crystals would create when it was defrosted.
i misread the ingredients list and bought already-made chocolate pudding (jello brand), oops! but that should be ok, right? and i’d just use that instead of the powder and 3.25 cups milk? thanks!
Yes! Not a problem, that should work!
I tried your chocolate lasagne twice and it came out GREAT. Only thing was boyh the times I thought I had the chocolate pudding mix, but didn’t !!
so I made the pudding with cornflour and cocoa powder. It was s hit. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
Hi there, Would it be possible to make this several days before and let it set in the fridge?
I may do the first and second layer about 3/4 days before but I do not want it to get too crumbly (or soggy).. Thanks!
I think several days would be too long (due to potential sogginess you mentioned), but the day before should work out ok!
Love ❤️ it
This is recipe is wonderful. So easy to make and tastes so great. It is my go to desert when I need to bring a dish to pass. Everyone always raves about it.
Question can i make this into a ice cream cake by adding the ice cream on top of the oreo
Yes! You could also sandwich an Oreo layer between two ice creams, too!
How long can this be left at room temperature before serving? I want to take it to a luncheon but don’t know whether to put it in the fridge or leave it out for about 3 1/2-4 hours before lunch.
Hi! I would definitely recommend keeping it in the fridge as long as possible before serving and then pull out just before. :)
Hi! I made this recipe a few months ago and it was delicious! I am not the biggest chocolate fan but some how I like Oreo cookies and I absolutely love whipped cream so this is one of my favorite desserts. Thank you for sharing such delicious recipe!
One question though – I plan on making this again in a few days and I only buy almond milk now. Do you think using almond milk instead of whole milk will be okay? Or should I definitely buy a small jug of whole milk for this?
Hi Evelin! I’m so glad this recipe is one of your favorite desserts now! I think almond milk would change the texture and taste so I would probably stick to whole milk in this recipe. :)
I tried this recipe, but i replaced the chocolate pudding with a soft chocolate ganache and the coolwhip i replaced with fresh double cream. I live in U.K so i wanted to share the alternates with whoever cant find the original ingredients.
It turned out excellent, i wish i could share a pic here.
Thanks for sharing! I’m so glad it turned out well for you!
Do you think this would be fine on Sunday pm if I make it today?
Definitely! :)
This is delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous. I made this dessert and brought it in to share with my coworkers on Thanksgiving Day. So easy to make. Definitely a winner. Five Stars!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! :)
So this looks awesome. I made the recipe but I did something wrong somewhere. It did not hold. Moo… do you know what I did wrong?
Hi Nicole! Is it your pudding that did not set? It should definitely be in the fridge for 3-4 hours. You could even freeze a bit to get it to set more. :)
Can I freeze this dessert?
Yes, you definitely can. Just let it thaw a little before serving! :)
Best stuff I have ever tasted
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! :)
I sprinkled red and green sugar on the top for Christmas. This is delicious.
Great idea!!
