- Oreo cookies (1 package, crushed into crumbs) – the crunchy foundation.
- Butter (½ cup, melted) – the glue holding your Oreo crust together.
- Cream cheese (8 oz, softened) – because everything’s better with cream cheese.
- Powdered sugar (¼ cup) – for a touch of sweetness.
- Cool Whip (16 oz, divided) – the fluffy cloud on top.
- Chocolate instant pudding mix (2 packets) – the chocolatey heart of the dish.
- Milk (3 cups) – to transform pudding powder into silk.
- Hershey’s chocolate bars (2, grated) – because we’re fancy like that.
Instructions
1. Crush the Oreos
Pulverize those cookies! Use a food processor or a rolling pin (therapy session optional). Mix crumbs with melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press into a 9×13 dish and refrigerate.
2. Whip the Cream Cheese Layer
Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in 1 cup Cool Whip. Spread this creamy wonder over the chilled crust.
3. Layer the Chocolate Pudding
Whisk pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes. Let it thicken slightly, then pour over the cream cheese layer.
4. Top It Off
Smother the pudding with the remaining Cool Whip. Sprinkle grated Hershey’s bars like you’re frosting a snowman. Chill for 4+ hours—patience, grasshopper!
Tips for the Perfect Dish
- Chill the crust for 15 minutes before adding layers. A firm base = no crumbling disasters.
- Softened cream cheese is non-negotiable. Cold cream cheese will clump like a toddler refusing veggies.
- Use full-fat milk for the pudding. Skim milk makes sad, watery layers.
- Grate chocolate bars fresh. Pre-shredded chocolate lacks that “I slaved for hours” charm.
- Add espresso powder to the pudding for a mocha twist. Coffee + chocolate = soulmates.
- Freeze for 30 minutes before slicing. Clean cuts = Instagram-worthy slices.
- Swap Oreos for Golden Oreos if you’re feeling ~rebellious~.
- Top with crushed Heath bars for a buttery crunch.
- Drizzle caramel sauce before serving. Go big or go home!
What to Serve With
Hershey’s Chocolate Lasagna Dessert is a diva that needs no backup dancers, but here are some crowd-pleasing pairings:
- Coffee or cold brew – balances the sweetness like a superhero sidekick.
- Fresh strawberries – because fruit makes it “healthy,” right?
- Vanilla ice cream – for those who believe more is more.
- Sparkling rosé – fancy drinks make any dessert feel luxe.
- Salty pretzels – sweet + salty = taste bud harmony.
