Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 20–25 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 1 package chocolate pudding mix
- 1/2 cup milk (half of the 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup Cool Whip
Raspberry Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup Cool Whip
- Remaining Cool Whip for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Base Layer: Crush the Oreo cookies finely and combine with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 Pyrex dish to form an even crust. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
- Make the Chocolate Pudding Layer: Prepare the chocolate pudding mix using half the recommended amount of milk (1/2 cup). After pudding thickens, gently fold in 1/2 cup of Cool Whip to create a creamy texture. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Return to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to set the layer.
- Create the Raspberry Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the raspberries and 1 cup of Cool Whip, taking care not to break up the berries too much. Spread this mixture evenly over the chocolate pudding layer.
- Assemble and Top: Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the raspberry layer to cover the dessert fully. Decorate the top as desired with additional raspberries or chocolate shavings if preferred.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled lasagna for at least 4 hours, allowing the layers to set and flavors to meld before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For best results, chill the dessert overnight to allow layers to fully set and flavors to blend.
- Use fresh raspberries if possible for a brighter flavor, but frozen raspberries work well too; just thaw before mixing.
- Press the Oreo crust firmly to ensure a solid base that holds the layers well.
- You can decorate the top with chocolate shavings or additional Oreo crumbs for extra visual appeal.
- This dessert is best served chilled and should be kept refrigerated until ready to serve.
