How to Make Chocolate Oreo Lasagna
Although it does take some time, this is a super easy recipe to put together. This dessert is made in layers and placed in the fridge after each layer is added, while we make the next layer. First we create the Oreo crust, then make homemade whipped cream. We will be dividing the whipped cream and add half of it to the 2nd layer and the other half for the topping. The second is our cheesecake, followed by our vanilla and chocolate pudding for the 3rd layer. The top layer is the other half of whipped cream and Oreo crumbles. Let it all firm up nicely in the fridge and you’ll be all set – literally! 🙂
For full recipe details, including ingredients needed and measurements, see the printable recipe card down below. Here is step by step what you can expect when making this recipe:
1. First Layer- Make the Oreo Cookie Crust
Pulverize Oreos (regular Oreos, not double-stuffed) in a food processor until crumbly. Slowly pour melted butter into Oreos and pulse food processor until well combined.
Pro Tip: If you do not have a food processor you can crumble your cookies by placing inside a zip top bag and hitting with a mallet or rolling pin. Fine crumbs are what you are looking for. Then just stir in the melted butter.
Press buttered cookie crumbs into a 9×13 glass baking dish with clean hands or an offset spatula.
Place in refrigerator to chill while making the next layer.
2. Make the Whipped Cream (to be divided in half)
Combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and beat with a stand mixer or hand mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Pro Tip: The whipped cream used for this is my homemade whipped cream recipe. I doubled it for this recipe to have enough to divide it between the cream cheese layer and for the topping. You can substitute Cool Whip whipped topping if you please.
3. Second Layer- Make the Cream Cheese Mixture
Place softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl and mix to combine.
Fold in HALF of the homemade whipped cream until combined.
Spread cream cheese/whipped cream mixture overtop the Oreo layer.
Place in refrigerator to chill while making the next layer.
4. Third Layer- Make the Pudding
Combine chocolate and vanilla instant pudding mixes with cold milk, whisking for 2 minutes.
Spread pudding mixture overtop the cream cheese/whipped cream layer.
Cover and place in refrigerator to chill at least 10 minutes.
Pro Tip: The type of pudding you use matters!! Make sure you’re using instant pudding mix, not the cook and serve kind. Instant pudding does not need to be cooked before using. Cook & Serve pudding does need to be heated on the stove first before using.
5. Fourth Layer- Spread Whipped Cream
Spread remaining whipped cream overtop pudding layer.
Sprinkle with remaining Oreo cookie crumbs for garnish and chill for another 20 minutes. Serve chilled.
Pro Tip: If you’re feeling artsy, you can also decorate this Oreo lasagna with chocolate shavings, chocolate curls, mini chocolate chips or even different color oreos for festive holidays.
Variations to this Chocolate Lasagna Recipe
Oreos– I don’t recommend using double stuffed or mega stuffed Oreos for this recipe. The cream cheese layer becomes too greasy with all that extra cream, causing the crust to be too wet. You can try using a different flavor of Oreos for a fun spin on the original version.
Peanut Butter– Make a peanut butter chocolate lasagna by adding some smooth peanut butter to the cream cheese layer.
Strawberry Lasagna– Use golden Oreos instead of original Oreos and use strawberry jello instead of pudding. Or instead of Oreos, make a graham cracker crust!
Pudding Mix Flavors- I love the combination of chocolate and vanilla in this recipe, but feel free to use what you have on hand or would prefer. Using two boxes of chocolate or dark chocolate would make an amazing chocolate lasagna as well.
Make Ahead + Storage Directions
Because this dessert is stored in the fridge anyway, it makes it easy to make this a day before you want to serve it. Be sure to cover it with a tight fitting lid or plastic wrap to keep it fresh. To store leftovers, cover or transfer to an airtight container and place back in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. I’m guessing it won’t last that long though. 😉
To Freeze: Cover and place in the freezer for up to 2 months. To thaw, allow to sit in the fridge overnight before serving.

We used to make an Oreo ice cream dessert for holidays and special occasions but I made this and you’re RIGHT! It’s our new favorite dessert. Everyone inhales it. Thank you for sharing!!
The recipe says 1/2 stick butter. Is that 1/4 of a cup or 1/2 of a cup? I have two different sizes of butter sticks in my refrigerator.
Hi Molly, half of a normal stick of butter – so 1/4 cup. 🙂
