If you’re on the hunt for a dessert that checks all the boxes—creamy, chocolatey, and an absolute party hit—then you need to try Oreo Lasagna. Imagine layers of crushed Oreos, velvety cream cheese, rich chocolate pudding, and fluffy whipped topping coming together in one blissful slice. Whether you’re feeding a crowd, looking for the ultimate no-bake treat, or just craving cookies-and-cream magic, this is one recipe you’ll want to make on repeat.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You’ll be amazed at how a few everyday ingredients can create something so show-stopping. Each one builds flavor, texture, and that striking “lasagna” look, so don’t skip or skimp on these essentials!

Oreo cookies (48, finely crushed): The heart of our Oreo Lasagna, providing a deep chocolatey base and extra crunch.
Salted butter (10 tablespoons, melted): Helps bind the crushed cookies into a sturdy, flavorful crust.
Cream cheese (12 ounces, room temp): Adds tangy creaminess to balance all the sweet layers.
Powdered sugar (3/4 cup): Sweetens the cream cheese filling without making it grainy.
Cool Whip (8 ounces, thawed): Lightens the filling and makes that dreamy final topping.
Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon): Rounds out the flavors with classic warmth.
Oreo cookies (6, finely crushed): Extra cookies in the cream cheese layer give you bonus crunch and chocolate kick.
Half and half or whole milk (3 cups): Makes the pudding ultra-rich—don’t swap for skim!
Instant chocolate pudding (2 boxes, 3.9 ounces each): Gives that luscious, fudgy middle.
Oreo cookies (6, finely crushed): Folded into the pudding for—you guessed it—even more Oreo joy.
Cool Whip (8 ounces, thawed): Another fluffy Cool Whip layer keeps things sky-high and ultra light.
Oreo cookies (12, finely crushed): The perfect finish, scattered over the top for maximum Oreo sparkle.

How to Make Oreo Lasagna

Step 1: Build the Oreo Crust

Start by mixing your finely crushed Oreo cookies with melted salted butter in a large bowl. You want every crumb lightly coated for maximum flavor and a crust that holds together. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, making sure to go all the way to the edges. Pop this in the fridge while you tackle the next layer—cold crust means easy layering later!

Step 2: Whip Up the Cream Cheese Layer

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar until totally smooth and creamy—no lumps allowed! Add in the Cool Whip and vanilla extract, and beat again until fluffy. Gently fold in the extra crushed Oreos for added texture and surprise chocolate bits. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust and return the dish to the fridge.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Pudding Layer

In a clean bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mixes and milk (or half and half, for an extra-indulgent result) until the pudding just starts to set and thicken. Fold in more crushed Oreos for twin layers of chocolatey goodness, then carefully spread this luscious pudding over the cream cheese layer. Give it a five-minute fridge break to firm up.

Step 4: The Fluffy Top and Final Sprinkle

Gently spread the remaining Cool Whip across the top as your final, inviting layer. Finish by sprinkling even more crushed Oreos over the surface—don’t hold back here! Refrigerate your Oreo Lasagna for at least four hours (overnight is even better) so that every layer melds and the whole dessert slices beautifully.

How to Serve Oreo Lasagna

Garnishes

If you want to elevate each square, scatter extra crushed Oreos on top just before serving, or add a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a gorgeous finish. A few whole mini Oreos on each slice scream celebration and make for an irresistible presentation.

Side Dishes

While Oreo Lasagna is truly the star, you can keep things simple with a scoop of vanilla or cookies-and-cream ice cream, or add a side of fresh strawberries or raspberries for a tart contrast. Even a cold glass of milk or hot coffee pairs perfectly, cutting through all that richness.

Creative Ways to Present

For parties or potlucks, spoon out Oreo Lasagna into small mason jars or clear cups so that guests can see all the beautiful layers. You can also use a cookie cutter to shape fun individual portions, or create a mini lasagna in a loaf pan for an impressive, petite dessert that feels extra special.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

To keep your Oreo Lasagna fresh, simply cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or a fitted lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to five days. The flavor actually develops more after a day or so, making leftovers a true treat!

Freezing

Oreo Lasagna freezes surprisingly well. For best results, wrap individual slices or the whole pan tightly with several layers of plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to one month. To serve, just thaw overnight in the refrigerator—no need to re-bake or reheat.

Reheating

This dessert is made to be served cold, so there’s no reheating needed. If frozen, let it thaw in the fridge until it’s cold but sliceable, then enjoy straight away. The creamy layers hold their shape beautifully, and the flavors are just as dreamy.

FAQs

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

Absolutely! Just make sure your whipped cream is whipped to stiff peaks so it holds up during layering. Homemade whipped cream will give a lighter, fresher flavor to your Oreo Lasagna, but Cool Whip’s stability can’t be beat for make-ahead desserts.

What’s the best way to crush Oreos?

A food processor is quickest and will give you super-fine crumbs for the crust. No food processor? Place the cookies in a sealed zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin. A few larger pieces add a fun texture, especially in the cream cheese and pudding layers.

Can I use another flavor of pudding?

Definitely! While chocolate is classic in Oreo Lasagna, you can try vanilla, white chocolate, or even cheesecake pudding mixes for a new spin. Just make sure to choose instant pudding for the right set and texture.

Is it possible to make this dessert gluten free?

Yes—simply substitute gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies wherever Oreos are called for, and check all other ingredient labels to ensure they’re gluten free. The result will still be satisfyingly rich and layered!

How far in advance can I make Oreo Lasagna?

Oreo Lasagna is ideal for prepping the day before a party; it needs at least four hours in the fridge, but overnight helps the layers meld even more. Don’t make it more than two days ahead to keep the crust from getting overly soft.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been dreaming of a dessert that wows with every bite and makes every gathering a little sweeter, Oreo Lasagna is your ticket. I can’t wait for you to try this in your kitchen—don’t be surprised if it becomes your most-requested treat! Happy layering!
