Ingredients
- 48 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 10 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 Oreo cookies, finely crushed (for cream cheese layer)

Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine 48 finely crushed Oreo cookies with the melted salted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand. Evenly press it into the base of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form a compact crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the next layer.
- Step 2: Using a hand or stand mixer, blend the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add 8 ounces of Cool Whip and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gently fold in 6 crushed Oreos. Spread this cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled crust and refrigerate again.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the half and half or whole milk with the instant chocolate pudding mix until thickened. Fold in 6 crushed Oreos. Evenly distribute this pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to allow it to slightly set.
- Step 4: Spread the remaining 8 ounces of Cool Whip evenly over the pudding layer. Sprinkle 12 finely crushed Oreos on top for garnish. Refrigerate the entire dessert for at least 4 hours to allow the layers to set completely before serving.
Tips & Variations
- For a richer crust, try using dark chocolate Oreos or adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the crust mixture.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, substitute half of the cream cheese with mascarpone cheese.
- Make individual servings by layering the ingredients in small cups or jars.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts over the top before chilling.
Storage
Store the Oreo Lasagna covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It tastes best when served chilled. If refrigerated longer, the cookies may soften more but the flavors will remain delicious. There is no need to reheat; simply serve cold.

FAQs
Can I make Oreo Lasagna ahead of time?
Yes, this dessert is perfect for making ahead. Prepare it the day before to allow the layers to set well and the flavors to meld.
Can I use regular whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?
You can substitute with homemade whipped cream, but Cool Whip provides a thicker consistency that helps the layers hold better.

Ingredients
Crust
- 48 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 10 tablespoons salted butter, melted
Cream Cheese Filling
- 12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 3 cups half and half or whole milk
- 7.8 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
- 6 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
Topping
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- 12 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine 48 finely crushed Oreo cookies with the melted salted butter. Stir the mixture until it resembles damp sand. Press the mixture evenly into the base of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form a compact crust. Chill this crust layer in the refrigerator while preparing the remaining layers to help it set firmly.
- Mix the Cream Cheese Filling: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, blend the cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add 8 ounces of thawed Cool Whip and the vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gently fold in 6 finely crushed Oreo cookies. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Return the dish to the refrigerator to chill this layer as well.
- Create the Pudding Layer: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups of half and half or whole milk with the instant chocolate pudding mix until the pudding thickens according to package instructions. Fold in 6 finely crushed Oreo cookies. Spread this pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer and place the dish back in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to slightly set the pudding layer.
- Add the Topping and Chill: Spread the remaining 8 ounces of thawed Cool Whip evenly over the pudding layer. Sprinkle 12 finely crushed Oreo cookies over the top for garnish. Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours to allow all layers to fully set and meld together before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and whole milk or half and half to achieve a richer texture and flavor.
- Make sure all layers are well chilled before adding the next to ensure clear, distinct layers in the final dessert.
- This dessert can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator, which enhances the flavor as the layers meld.
- Oreo cookies can be finely crushed using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- If desired, garnish the top with mini Oreo halves or chocolate shavings for added presentation.
