Why Make Chocolate Lasagna
Who can resist layers of cookies, pudding, and whipped cream?
This delicious no bake treat is a must make! It’s perfect for a weekday dessert, and impressive enough to share with friends!
I remember YEARS AGO having something similar at Olive Garden, anyone else remember this or am I losing my mind?
Let’s talk about how easy this no bake treat is to make!
Ingredients Needed
- Cookies. Start by deciding what kind of cookies to use in the first layer. Some people opt for an Oreo crust, but I personally think they’re overused in cookie crusts. I chose Chips Ahoy (chocolate chip cookies).
- Cream Cheese– don’t settle for off brands here. Get the richest flavor with Philadelphia.
- Chocolate Pudding– make sure to choose an INSTANT pudding mix. I chose chocolate, but the chocolate fudge would be awesome too!
- Cool Whip- you could also make my homemade stabilized whipped cream if you prefer!
How to Make a Layered Dessert
The crust.
- Using any crunchy cookie variety, pulse it a few times in a food processor until fine crumbs. Or use a ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin!
- Add melted butter to the cookie crumbs and pour into the bottom of a 13×9 baking dish. Using the palm of your hand or the bottom of a cup, firmly press the crumbs into the bottom of the dish. Set aside.
Cheesecake layer.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold Cool Whip in cream cheese mixture until blended. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Pour over crust. Using an offset spatula, spread the mixture evenly over the crust layer.
Pudding layer.
- In a large bowl add two packages of INSTANT chocolate pudding mix. Make sure you purchase the instant variety or this won’t set up properly. Whisk in milk. You’ll use less milk than the box says because you want this layer extra thick and fudgy.
- Once the pudding mix is well blended, spread the pudding over cheesecake layer.
Whipped Cream.
- Add remaining Cool Whip to the top of the chocolate lasagna. Sprinkle with more mini chocolate chips and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
- Slice and serve. Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days. ENJOY.

I shall attempt to sound as if I have an IQ equal to a carrot. I read the recipe ad nauseam. “For the topping”, an 8 oz Cool Whip is listed. Under the “Instructions” (number 9), “add remaining Cool Whip”; therefore, are two 8 oz Cool Whip to be used? I am confused with the “remaining” Cool Whip since I did not see that two containers were to be used. No doubt, you addressed that in the recipe, but heck if I can find it. I simply need clarification before I purchase the products required for this recipe (obscene grocery increases). Again, I know I must be missing something regarding the aforementioned ingredient. I am looking forward to making this but need your assistance. I thank you in advance.
If you look at the ingredient list, there is one Cool Whip for the first layer, and one cool whip for the topping. Hope that helps!
