Ingredients
See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
- Oreo cookies – You can use classic Oreos, or one of the flavored varieties.
- Unsalted butter – Melt this on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Cream cheese – Let this soften to room temperature.
- Granulated sugar
- Whole milk – I recommend whole milk for maximum creaminess.
- Cool Whip – Let this thaw before you use it.
- Instant chocolate pudding mix
- Mini chocolate chips
How to Make Chocolate Lasagna
- Make the Oreo crust – In a food processor, pulse the Oreos until they form fine crumbs. Transfer them to a medium mixing bowl and add the melted butter. Stir to combine, then press the crumbs into a 9×13 baking dish.
- Make the cream cheese layer – Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and beat to combine. Fold in the Cool Whip.
- Make the pudding – In a large bowl, whisk the pudding mix and the remaining milk until smooth. Put it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes so it will set.
- Assemble – Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture over the Oreo crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Spread a layer of chocolate pudding over the cream cheese. Chill again. Spread the rest of the Cool Whip over the pudding layer and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours before serving.
How to Store Chocolate Lasagna
Store chocolate lasagna wrapped in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. You can also freeze chocolate lasagna for up to 2 months; let it thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Everyone puts their own unique spin on chocolate lasagna, but my favorite version is in the recipe card below.
No, so you can’t use whipped cream as a substitute for Cool Whip in this recipe. Cool Whip is more stable because it has other ingredients added to the cream.
