Ingredients
Scale
Crust Layer:
- 36 Oreo cookies (crushed into fine crumbs)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cream Cheese Layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
Pudding Layer:
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk (divided, 1.5 cups for each pudding)
Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping
- Christmas sprinkles
- Mini M&M’s or red and green candies for garnish
Instructions
- Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are fully moistened, resembling wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan, ensuring an even layer that will serve as the base. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the next layers.
- Prepare the cream cheese layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer. Gradually add the granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping to create a light and fluffy mixture. Spread this creamy layer evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
- Layer the puddings: Prepare instant vanilla and chocolate puddings separately by mixing each pudding mix with 1.5 cups cold milk, following the package instructions. After the puddings have thickened, carefully spread the chocolate pudding first over the cream cheese layer, followed by the vanilla pudding, smoothing it out to create distinct layers.
- Add whipped topping: Spread the remaining 1.5 cups of whipped topping evenly over the pudding layers to create a smooth top layer.
- Decorate and chill: Generously sprinkle the top with colorful Christmas sprinkles and garnish with mini M&Ms or red and green candies. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set. Slice into squares to serve and enjoy your festive Christmas Cookie Lasagna.
Notes
- For best results, chill the dessert overnight to ensure the layers set properly and flavors meld.
- You can substitute the Oreo cookies with your favorite chocolate sandwich cookies if desired.
- If you prefer a less sweet option, reduce the sugar in the cream cheese layer slightly.
- Use full-fat cream cheese and pudding mixes for richer texture and flavor.
- This dessert can be prepared a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
