Ingredients Needed:
Cookies: I’ve used Oreos here, but any kind of chocolate sandwich cookie will work well for the base, and for garnishing the top. You could even try different flavors of Oreo if you like. Butter: melted butter combines with the crushed cookies to form the perfect dessert foundation. If you only have unsalted butter, just add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness. Cream Cheese: use full-fat cream cheese at room temperature for the best results. Light cream cheese has more water and may not hold up as well. Powdered Sugar: to sweeten and add substance to the cream cheese filling and the whipped cream topping. Cream: you’ll need heavy whipping cream to add to the cream cheese layer, and also to whip for the topping. A lighter cream will not work because it won’t whip to stiff peaks. Extracts: use mint extract to flavor the mint layer, and vanilla extract for the whipped cream on top. Food Coloring: you can use green food coloring to give the mint layer a vibrant green color, but it’s optional. Chocolate Pudding: use your favorite brand of instant chocolate pudding mix. Milk: use your favorite kind of milk to mix the chocolate pudding. Garnish: I’ve used chopped Andes mints, fresh mint leaves, chocolate shavings, and crushed Oreo crumbs for garnish, but it’s optional.
How to Make this No-Bake Chocolate Lasagna Recipe

Tips and Notes
Let it set properly. Patience is key with this minty Oreo delight! Each layer needs its time to set, especially the chocolate pudding layer. A minimum of 4 hours is recommended to ensure each layer is firm enough for that ideal layered effect. Food Processor. While you can manually crush the cookies using a rolling pin, a food processor ensures the crumbs are uniformly fine, giving you that perfect crust. Hand Mixer. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer will give you the best results for whipping the cream. You can do it by hand with a whisk, but you can save yourself time and effort by using a mixer!
Chocolate Lasagne No Bake Dessert Recipe Variations
Food Coloring. Omit the green food coloring if you prefer – the mint flavor will still shine through! However, if you’re making this for a special occasion or event like St. Patrick’s Day or Christmas, the green layer does add a special touch. Try other flavor combinations. This recipe is highly adaptable, you can change the flavor extract, type of pudding, and kind of crust used to make an entirely new kind of dessert! Try vanilla and chocolate, pumpkin pudding with a Biscoff base like in my No Bake Biscoff Cheesecake, or even a vanilla and berries version! Make it from scratch: you can swap the pudding mix for a homemade chocolate pudding layer. Simply use the cooked chocolate filling in this Chocolate Cream Pie Recipe.
Serving Suggestions
Trust me, nothing complements the layers of chocolate and mint in this dessert lasagna better than a cup of coffee. Try my Cold Brew Coffee for a truly delicious experience. It’s the perfect way to balance out the sweetness and enhance the chocolatey goodness. For the holidays, you could even go all out and serve it with a festive Peppermint Mocha Recipe or a White Chocolate Mocha. Kids will love this Christmas dessert with a glass of cold milk. The creaminess of the milk pairs excellently with the crunch of the Oreo crust and the smooth layers of cream and pudding!
