How to Make Chocolate Lasagna

  1. Crush Oreos in a blender then transfer to a medium bowl. Mix in the melted butter and toss to coat. Evenly press into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Fold in half of the Cool Whip, then spread evenly over the Oreo crust.
  3. In another medium bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix into the 2 cups of milk. Let stand for 2 minutes to thicken, then evenly spread over the peanut butter cream cheese layer.
  4. Spread the remaining Cool Whip over top then sprinkle with the chopped Butterfinger candy bars.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Your Questions Answered

Can I halve this recipe?
You sure can! I halve this chocolate lasagna all the time using a 9x9-inch pan.

What does "Fold" mean in a recipe?
The term "fold" means to carefully combine the light mixture into the heavier mixture. In this case when stirring the Cool Whip into the peanut butter cream cheese, use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula with a light hand to gently turn over the two mixtures in the bowl to combine.

Do I keep the cream in the Oreo cookies?
Absolutely! Crush the entire cookie into the blender to make the Oreo crust.

Is this good with a graham cracker crust instead of Oreo?
Yes! It won't be as chocolaty, but if you prefer a graham cracker crust, go for it!

Do I bake the crust first?
Nope! This is a no-bake dessert!

How long should I refrigerate this before serving?
You want the dessert to set at least 1 hour in the fridge before serving so they display the pretty layers when sliced.

How long will this store in the fridge?
Chocolate lasagna will keep in the fridge up to 1 week, but best within 5 days.
