Description

This indulgent Hot Chocolate Lasagna is a no-bake dessert layered with a crunchy Oreo cookie crust, creamy sweetened cream cheese, rich chocolate pudding, fluffy marshmallows, and whipped topping—all drizzled with warm hot fudge and sprinkled with mini chocolate chips. Perfectly chilled and served in squares, this layered treat brings together the flavors of a hot chocolate drink in a cool, luscious dessert lasagna.

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 evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form an even crust.
  2. Chill the Crust: Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill until the crust is set and firm, which helps it hold the layers that follow.
  3. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Then add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture is fluffy and well combined.
  4. Spread the Cream Cheese Layer: Evenly spread the whipped cream cheese mixture over the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  5. Prepare the Chocolate Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix with the cold milk until thickened and smooth, following the package instructions.
  6. Add the Pudding Layer: Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer in the baking dish.
  7. Top with Mini Marshmallows: Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows over the pudding layer, distributing them evenly.
  8. Spread the Whipped Topping: Gently spread the whipped topping over the marshmallows, creating a fluffy top layer.
  9. Add Hot Fudge Sauce: Drizzle the warmed hot fudge sauce evenly over the whipped topping.
  10. Finish with Chocolate Chips and Marshmallow Garnish: Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and additional mini marshmallows over the hot fudge for decoration and extra texture.
  11. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours, allowing all layers to firm up and flavors to meld.
  12. Serve: Slice the hot chocolate lasagna into squares and serve chilled for a rich and creamy dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use full-fat ingredients like heavy cream and cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • Crushing Oreo cookies finely ensures a better crust that holds well.
  • Warming the hot fudge sauce slightly helps it drizzle more easily.
  • This dessert can be prepared a day in advance for convenient serving.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute ingredients with suitable plant-based alternatives.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
