Ingredients

Scale

Lasagna Layer

  • 1 package lasagna noodles

Cheese Mixture

  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Other Layers

  • 2 cups chocolate pudding
  • 2 cups whipped cream
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare Ricotta Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and powdered sugar. Mix well until the texture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble First Layer: In a baking dish, lay down a layer of cooked noodles evenly to create the base layer.
  4. Add Ricotta Layer: Spread a generous layer of the ricotta and powdered sugar mixture evenly over the noodles.
  5. Layer Chocolate Pudding: Spread a layer of chocolate pudding over the ricotta mixture, ensuring full coverage.
  6. Add Whipped Cream Layer: Spread a layer of whipped cream over the chocolate pudding to add lightness.
  7. Top With Caramel and Pecans: Drizzle caramel sauce over the whipped cream and sprinkle a layer of chopped pecans for crunch and flavor.
  8. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering steps with noodles, ricotta mixture, chocolate pudding, whipped cream, caramel, and pecans until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
  9. Finish With Toppings: Sprinkle the top layer with chocolate chips and extra chopped pecans for decoration and added texture.
  10. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled lasagna dessert for at least 4 hours, or until well chilled and set before serving to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • For best results, use no-boil or pre-cooked lasagna noodles to save time.
  • Allow noodles to cool completely before assembling to prevent melting the whipped cream and pudding layers.
  • Chilling time is essential to let the layers set properly for easy serving.
  • This dessert can be made a day ahead; store covered in the refrigerator.
  • Feel free to substitute chopped walnuts or almonds for pecans if preferred.
