Ingredients You’ll Need

The magic of Oreo Lasagna lies in just a few classic ingredients, each one bringing its own charm to every dreamy layer. From crunchy cookies to rich pudding, these staples blend together for a dessert you’ll crave again and again.

Oreo cookies (48, finely crushed): These are the heart of the dessert—rich, chocolatey, and full of nostalgia that sets the tone for every bite.
Salted butter (10 tablespoons, melted): Salted butter binds the crust together and gives it an irresistible buttery edge.
Cream cheese (12 ounces, room temperature): Silky smooth cream cheese is the key to that tangy, luscious cream layer.
Powdered sugar (3/4 cup): Powdered sugar sweetens the cream cheese without any grittiness.
Cool Whip (8 ounces; plus 8 more ounces for topping, thawed): Cool Whip keeps things ultra-light and fluffy—perfect for that iconic no-bake texture.
Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon): Just a splash brings all the sweet, creamy flavors to life.
Oreo cookies (6, finely crushed): Extra Oreos in the cream cheese layer give you a little surprise crunch.
Half and half or whole milk (3 cups): This creates the silky base for the pudding layer; use half and half for extra richness!
Instant chocolate pudding (2 boxes, 3.9 ounces each): These little boxes help you whip up a thick, chocolatey layer in minutes.
Oreo cookies (6 more, finely crushed): Fold some into the pudding for pops of cookie goodness in every bite.
Oreo cookies (12, finely crushed): This last batch is for that show-stopping, cookie-loaded topping that everyone scrambles for!

How to Make Oreo Lasagna

Step 1: Make the Oreo Crust

To start, combine your finely crushed Oreo cookies and melted salted butter in a large bowl. Mix until the crumbs are thoroughly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, forming a smooth, even layer. This will create the perfectly chocolatey, crunchy base for your Oreo Lasagna. Pop it in the fridge while you move on to the next layers—it needs a little chill time to set!

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer

Grab a fresh bowl and beat your room temperature cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is silky and lump-free—this is the base of the creamy layer. Add in the Cool Whip and vanilla extract, blending until everything is beautifully smooth. Lastly, fold in the extra crushed Oreos for some crunch in every bite. Spread this luxurious cream cheese mixture evenly over your chilled Oreo crust, and return it to the fridge while you get the chocolate pudding ready.

Step 3: Whip Up the Chocolate Pudding Layer

In yet another bowl (trust me, the layering will be worth it!), whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix with your half and half or whole milk. Whisk vigorously for a couple of minutes, then let it stand until the pudding thickens. Fold in more crushed Oreos for that extra pop of cookie flavor. Spoon the pudding mixture over your cream cheese layer, spreading it out as evenly as possible. Let the dish chill again for about five more minutes to help everything set up nicely.

Step 4: Finish With Whipped Topping and Oreo Sprinkles

Here’s the fun part: spread a generous, fluffy layer of Cool Whip all over the pudding, covering every nook and cranny. Finally, sprinkle the last batch of finely crushed Oreos right on top, making sure every slice gets some of that cookie magic. The last step is key—refrigerate your Oreo Lasagna for at least four hours before serving so it holds its shape and every layer blends to perfection.

How to Serve Oreo Lasagna

Garnishes

Garnishing your Oreo Lasagna is pure joy! Consider a dramatic sprinkle of extra Oreo crumbs or even some whole mini Oreos for a playful touch. A drizzle of chocolate sauce or a few chocolate curls can turn each slice into a true dessert showpiece.

Side Dishes

Pair your Oreo Lasagna with simple side dishes to let its flavors shine. A bowl of fresh, lightly macerated berries or a hot cup of coffee creates a lovely, balanced contrast to the creamy richness of the dessert. If you’re serving it at a party, offer some vanilla ice cream on the side—kids and adults alike go wild for that combo!

Creative Ways to Present

Switch up your presentation by layering Oreo Lasagna in clear parfait glasses for adorable single-serves, or cut the dessert into neat squares and stack them on a bright platter for buffet-style gatherings. Mini mason jars, shot glasses, or cupcake liners also make clever ways to showcase the beautiful layers pop!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, keep your Oreo Lasagna covered in the refrigerator. It stays tasting fantastic for up to 4 days. Just be sure to use an airtight container or a double wrap of plastic to prevent any fridge odors from sneaking in.

Freezing

Yes, you can freeze Oreo Lasagna! Wrap it tightly in both a layer of plastic wrap and foil, and store it for up to two months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving. The texture stays surprisingly lovely, although the Cool Whip layer might be a touch softer.

Reheating

Since Oreo Lasagna is meant to be enjoyed chilled, there’s no need to reheat. Simply take it out of the fridge, slice, and serve. If you’ve frozen it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying.

FAQs

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

Absolutely! Just swap an equal amount of freshly whipped cream for Cool Whip if you prefer a more natural approach, but be sure to whip it stiff so all those layers hold up nicely.

Do I have to remove the cream from Oreos before crushing them?

No need at all—the creamy centers melt into the crust and layers, adding extra flavor and a dreamy texture. Toss in the whole cookie and crush away!

Can I make Oreo Lasagna ahead of time?

Oreo Lasagna is a make-ahead winner! Just cover and chill it overnight; the flavors deepen, and the dessert slices even more cleanly when well chilled.

What if I don’t have instant pudding?

If instant pudding isn’t available, you can prepare a homemade chocolate pudding. Just make sure it cools and thickens completely before layering, so you don’t end up with a runny middle.

How can I prevent a soggy crust?

To avoid a soggy crust, be sure to press the crushed Oreos and butter into a firm, even layer and give it a good chill before adding the next layer. This helps create a sturdy foundation for all those luscious toppings!
