A rich and creamy layered chocolate dessert inspired by Olive Garden’s famous chocolate lasagna. Easy to assemble with no baking required, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed (gluten-free Oreos optional)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
  • Optional: extra crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

  1. Crush 24 Oreo cookies finely using a food processor or a sealed plastic bag and rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
  2. Mix the crushed Oreos with 6 tablespoons melted butter until well combined.
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish and refrigerate to firm up.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes).
  5. In a separate bowl, whip 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
  7. Spread the cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled crust and return to the fridge.
  8. In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes). Let sit to set.
  9. Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer and smooth the top.
  10. Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  11. Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the pudding layer and optionally sprinkle crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings on top.
  12. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  13. Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

Softening cream cheese at room temperature helps achieve a smooth texture. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best volume. Fold whipped cream gently to keep layers light and fluffy. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices. Chill overnight for best flavor and texture.
