How to make Chocolate Lasagna Dessert!

Over the years, I’ve done lots of different takes on lasagna. I’ve made it into a soup version, a one-pot ravioli dinner – even a breakfast casserole.

But even I wondered if I was going too far when I started asking myself, “Could lasagna be a dessert?” I know, it sounds crazy! But you know I just can’t resist a challenge. Once I had the idea, I had to try it.

OMG Chocolate Lasagna Dessert - Add chocolate pudding to top of whipped cream mixture

So I started figuring out substitutes for all the lasagna layers. For the noodles, I used a cookie crust made from crushed Oreos and butter. For the cheese, a mix of sweetened cream cheese and Cool Whip. For the filling, chocolate pudding – and instead of Parmesan on top, a sprinkling of chocolate chips.

Did it work? Ohhhhhhhhh yes.

This OMG Chocolate Lasagna has all the layers of flavor you expect from a great lasagna – except those layers are sweet, creamy, and chocolatey. It’s chocolate heaven in every mouthful.

    what does “on fo the halves” mean??

    1. Sorry Judy, it as a typo and has been corrected to “one of the halves”

  2. 5 stars
    How do you get all 36 Oreo cookies into the crust? There is no way that is possible. Maybe 30 cookies would be do-able. I mean once that bag is open, I’d eat a half dozen before they would make it into the recipe. How does one resolve this dilemma? Should I shrink the recipe or should I buy an extra bag of Oreos? Hmm. I wonder! lol

  3. Love this!! I will definitely be making this soon!
