OREO Lasagna – The Ultimate No-Bake Dessert for National Chocolate Day 🍫✨


 

  • 1 sleeve (about 30) OREO cookies, crushed
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or Cool Whip for shortcut version)

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup crushed OREO cookies
  • Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional)
  • Whipped cream and fresh berries for garnish (optional)

🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

In a bowl, mix crushed OREO cookies with melted butter until well combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Layer

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Fold in whipped cream (or use Cool Whip directly if shortcut-style).

Spread half of the mixture over the crust.

Step 3: Add the OREO Layer

Sprinkle a thick layer of crushed OREO cookies over the cream cheese mixture.

Step 4: Top with More Creaminess

Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture evenly over the top.

Step 5: Finish with Chocolate Crunch

Sprinkle a final layer of crushed OREO cookies on top. Add chocolate shavings or sprinkles for extra flair if desired.

Step 6: Chill Until Set

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours , or overnight for best results.

Slice into squares and serve chilled for maximum flavor and texture.
