Ingredients
Scale
Crust Layer
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
Chocolate Layer
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 1/2 cup whipped cream (for chocolate mousse layer)
Topping
- Extra crushed Oreos for garnish
- Chocolate shavings or drizzle for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish to form the crust layer.
- Mix the Cream Cheese Layer: In a separate bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in 1 cup whipped cream until fully incorporated and creamy.
- Assemble the Cream Cheese Layer: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the Oreo crust in the dish, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Create the Chocolate Layer: Melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave. Allow to cool slightly before folding in 1/2 cup whipped cream to create a light chocolate mousse layer.
- Assemble the Chocolate Layer: Carefully spread the chocolate mousse over the cream cheese layer, smoothing the top evenly.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled no-bake lasagna for at least 4 hours, or until firm and set.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle extra crushed Oreos on top and drizzle with chocolate shavings or melted chocolate for a festive look.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth mixture.
- Chilling time is essential for layers to set properly, so plan ahead.
- Can be made a day in advance to improve flavor melding.
- Use dairy-free whipped cream and cream cheese substitutes for a vegan variation.
