Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 package (15.25 oz) Oreo cookies (divided, about 14-16 cookies for crust)
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
Cream Cheese Layer
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pudding Layer
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
Garnish (Optional)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Remaining Oreo cookies (crushed, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo Crust: Crush half of the Oreo cookies (about 14-16 cookies) into fine crumbs using a food processor or blender to create the base of your crust.
- Combine Crust Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir the Oreo crumbs together with the melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened and holds together well.
- Form the Crust: Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even layer. Refrigerate the crust to set while preparing the next layers.
- Make the Cream Cheese Layer: Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, providing a light and fluffy texture.
- Combine Cream Cheese and Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined to create a smooth, airy layer.
- Spread Cream Cheese Layer: Evenly spread this mixture over the chilled Oreo crust in the baking dish.
- Prepare the Pudding Layer: In another bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens and becomes smooth.
- Spread Pudding Layer: Spread the thickened pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer in the dish, creating the third distinct layer.
- Add Oreo Topping: Crush the remaining Oreos and sprinkle them over the pudding layer evenly to add texture and extra Oreo flavor.
- Chill the Dessert: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set properly and the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, optionally garnish with chocolate chips or additional crushed Oreos. Cut into squares and enjoy this rich, creamy Oreo lasagna.
Notes
- For best results, chill the dessert overnight to allow flavors to fully develop and layers to set firmly.
- You can substitute light cream or half-and-half for heavy whipping cream for a lighter version, but the texture may be less fluffy.
- Use a 9×13-inch dish to ensure proper layer thickness and even chilling.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the cream cheese layer.
- Can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
