Crush the entire package of Oreos using a food processor until finely ground, reserving 1 cup of the crumbs for garnishing the final dessert.
In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining crushed Oreos with melted butter and stir until evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the base of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish to form the crust.
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and half of the Cool Whip with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
Evenly spread this cream cheese mixture over the prepared Oreo crust, then place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the pudding layer.
In another bowl, whisk together the chocolate instant pudding mix and cold milk for several minutes until it thickens. Once set, gently spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer. Let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the pudding to firm.
Top the dessert with the remaining Cool Whip, spreading it out smoothly over the pudding. Finish by sprinkling the reserved Oreo crumbs on top.
How to Make Oreo Lasagna Layers
Crush Oreos and mix with butter to press into a 9×13 pan for the base. Whip cream cheese, powdered sugar, and half the Cool Whip into a smooth layer and spread it over the crust. Chill while whisking pudding mix with milk. Once thickened, layer the pudding on next. Top with the rest of the Cool Whip and reserved Oreo crumbs.
Oreo Lasagna Tips and Variations
For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and whole milk for a rich texture. You can swap Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream if desired. For variety, try layering in peanut butter cups, caramel drizzle, or using Golden Oreos for a lighter twist.
How to Store Oreo Lasagna Leftovers
Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or transfer slices to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. This dessert does not freeze well, as the texture becomes watery after thawing.
