Chocolate Lasagna Trifle

I’m a huge fan of chocolate lasagna. You know the one – also goes by dessert lasagna, chocolate lush or Oreo delight.

In my family we make a vanilla pudding version that we call Oreo Cake.

Whatever you call it, this no bake layered pudding dessert is amazing!

The traditional chocolate version features an Oreo crust, followed by a layer of sweetened cream cheese, then chocolate pudding and topped off with cool whip.

This dessert is easy enough to serve after a family dinner, special enough for parties and celebrations, and one of those desserts that always disappear at potlucks.

Over the years I’ve made many including my favorite summer Lemon Blueberry Trifle, a fall Pumpkin Brown Trifle, winter Chocolate Peppermint Trifle and springtime Carrot Cake Trifle!

With this chocolate lasagna trifle, I’ve transformed it into an extra special dessert that doesn’t require extra effort.

I love serving a showstopper for dessert that tops the main meal, even something as impressive as Pernil (roasted pork shoulder).

This is the dessert that will have all your guests oohing and ahhing, especially as we head into the holiday season.

To assemble:

Begin with the Oreo cookies. You will need the large package of Oreos (Family Size 19.1oz) or 48 cookies from 2 smaller packages.

Save 5 for garnish later and crush the rest. You can put them in a zip-lock bag and give them a good whack (very therapeutic) or give them a quick blitz in the food processor.

They should be bite-sized pieces.

For the chocolate layer, whisk the pudding mix and milk together.

It will thicken on its own in a few minutes. Just be sure to use instant pudding mix, not the cook & serve kind.

In a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth.

Start off with well-softened cream cheese to avoid any lumps.

Slowly beat in 1/4 cup each of milk and sugar. Then stir in 2 cups of whipped topping.

Now begin layering until the ingredients are used up.

I love my trifle bowl because it makes the dessert look stunning, but you can also use a glass mixing bowl.

To top it all off, add a mound of whipped cream in the center or pipe little dollops around the edge and top with the reserved Oreos.

Pin this for later!
