OREO Lasagna is a total hero for those moments when your kitchen feels more like a sauna, the oven just feels like too much commitment, and everyone’s craving something sweet. I mean, it’s hot, you’re tired, and baking? Forget about it. If you’re juggling things and need a quick crowd-pleaser, this ridiculously easy no-bake OREO Lasagna will save your bacon.
I stumbled on this after a wild ride making these best Oreo balls for a party, and let me tell ya, it changed dessert night around here. By the way, if you love lasagna—on the savory side—I’ve also got a pretty killer buffalo chicken lasagna recipe for those who want something spicy before dessert. This one though? Straight up choco-magic.
Why You’ll Love This Oreo Lasagna
Alright, let’s get straight to the point: this OREO Lasagna is what dessert dreams are made of. I’m not pulling your leg—it’s creamy, chocolatey, and full of all those OREO bits we can’t resist. Plus, no fancy skills required. Heck, you barely need to know your way around a spatula.
I’ve taken this to BBQs, game nights, even random Tuesday dinners (don’t judge) and it’s never survived long enough to see the fridge again. The layers? So easy! A little crushed OREO base, some fluffy cream cheese stuff, chocolate pudding, whipped topping, and more OREOs. Each bite’s got that melt-in-your-mouth, cold, sweet treat you just don’t get from store-bought stuff. And honestly? Way cheaper than grabbing something fancy from the bakery. Your friends will beg for the recipe. Strangers will ask if you run a five-star restaurant. Grandmas will nod in approval. Need I say more?
How to Make Chocolate Oreo Lasagna
Let me just say—this is almost embarrassingly simple. Messy hands ahead, so clear the counters and let’s roll up our sleeves.
First off, you’ll need a pack of OREO cookies (save a couple for topping), a tub of whipped topping, cream cheese, a little milk, chocolate pudding mix, and some powdered sugar.
Crush most of your OREOS. I just toss them in a zip bag and bash ‘em with a rolling pin. Dump those crumbs into a dish and press for your bottom crust.
Mix up softened cream cheese, a dash of milk, and powdered sugar. Spread this on the OREO crust.
Next up: chocolate pudding. Make it according to the box, let it thicken, then slap it right over the cream cheese layer.
Top everything with a fluffy layer of whipped topping. Get as messy as you want, no one’s grading you.
Crush a couple more OREOS on top, stick it in the fridge, and let the magic happen for at least 4 hours. That’s it—you’re a baking pro now.
I’ve tested this every which way, and honestly, it’s hard to mess up. Try not to eat it with a spoon right outta the dish while it chills. (No judgment if you do, though.)
Variations to this Chocolate Lasagna Recipe
Here’s the fun bit—make it yours. Toss in crushed Oreo Cheesecake Cookie Bars for a double whammy, or swap in different pudding flavors if that’s your jam. My neighbor once used Oreo Pancakes crumbs (bless her sweet tooth) and called it “breakfast lasagna.” I wouldn’t go that far, but hey, knock yourself out.
People have even layered peanut butter cups, sprinkled in chopped nuts, or—get this—added a swirl of caramel drizzle between the layers for a fancy spin. Feeling festive? Try mint OREOs at Christmas. Or, go wild with that new lemon OREO flavor in the springtime. The sky’s the limit really. You can even mix mini chocolate chips in with the whipped topping for crunch city.
And, if you’re keen on more lazy lasagna casserole ideas but want to stick with dessert, chocolate chip cookies are a wild card. It’s your kitchen—make a mess, invent something new, and don’t tell anyone if you eat half while “taste-testing.”
“I whipped up this chocolate lasagna for my daughter’s birthday. I’m not a baker—honestly, I burn toast. But this? Everyone went nuts, and now it’s my party go-to.” – Sarah B.
Make Ahead + Storage Directions
Alright, here’s what I’ve figured out (after, um, a couple soggy mishaps). This OREO Lasagna is actually better if you prep it ahead of time—at least four hours, but even overnight is totally fine. The cookies soak up the right amount of gooey goodness and the layers gel together like they’re meant to be best friends.
If you have any left (good luck with that), cover the dish with foil or plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator. I wouldn’t leave it more than three days though. Trust me, the whipped topping starts to get weird after that.
Don’t mess around with freezing. Tried it. The texture turns kinda odd, the cream can separate, and it just isn’t as good. Although, my cousin did hide a slice behind the milk once and rediscovered it after four days—she said it was still edible, but she’s braver than me.

At least four hours, but overnight is even better for max flavor.
Can I add fruit between the layers?
Totally! Strawberries or raspberries go great—just dry them well first so it doesn’t get soggy.
