Description

This Hot Chocolate Lasagna is a luscious no-bake dessert perfect for chocolate lovers, featuring layers of Oreo crust, creamy cream cheese mixture, rich chocolate pudding, fluffy marshmallows, and a topping of whipped cream, hot fudge, and chocolate chips. It requires chilling to set and serves as a decadent treat ideal for gatherings or holidays.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 2 (3.9 oz) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 1/4 cups cold milk

Toppings

  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce, warmed
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Additional mini marshmallows for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine the finely crushed Oreo cookies with the melted unsalted butter until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.
  2. Press Crust into Dish: Firmly press the Oreo and butter mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form an even crust layer. Place it in the refrigerator to set and become firm.
  3. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: Beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Cream and Vanilla: Add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, then beat until the mixture becomes fluffy and light.
  5. Spread Cream Cheese Layer: Evenly spread this creamy layer over the chilled Oreo crust in the baking dish.
  6. Prepare Chocolate Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 3 1/4 cups of cold milk until the pudding thickens, which usually takes a few minutes.
  7. Spread Pudding Layer: Spoon and evenly spread the thickened chocolate pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer.
  8. Add Mini Marshmallows: Evenly sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows over the chocolate pudding layer.
  9. Spread Whipped Topping: Spread the whipped topping gently over the marshmallows, creating a smooth, fluffy layer on top.
  10. Add Toppings: Drizzle warm hot fudge sauce evenly over the whipped topping, then sprinkle mini chocolate chips and additional mini marshmallows as garnish.
  11. Chill to Set: Place the assembled dessert in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to allow all layers to set and flavors to meld.
  12. Serve: Slice the chilled Hot Chocolate Lasagna into squares and serve cold for a rich, indulgent treat.

Notes

  • For a firmer crust, ensure the Oreo and butter mixture is tightly pressed into the dish.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy whipping cream for the best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute store-bought whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
  • Keep the dessert refrigerated until serving as it contains perishable dairy ingredients.
  • Additional garnishes such as crushed peppermint or chocolate shavings can be added for festive occasions.
