Description

This luscious Hot Chocolate Lasagna combines layers of Oreo crust, creamy hot chocolate cheesecake mousse, rich chocolate pudding, and fluffy whipped cream topped with mini marshmallows and a drizzle of melted chocolate. Perfect for chocolate lovers, this no-bake dessert offers a decadent and chilled treat that sets beautifully in the fridge.

Ingredients

For Oreo Crust:

  • 36 Oreo cookies, ground with filling
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Hot Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Layer:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 envelopes (0.73 oz each) instant hot cocoa mix (milk chocolate flavor)
  • 1 ¼ cups Cool Whip

Chocolate Pudding Layer:

  • 2 packages (3.8 oz each) chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 2 ¾ cups milk

Topping:

  • 1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream (or 2 ½ cups whipped cream)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • Chocolate topping or Nutella for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oreo Crust: Place whole Oreo cookies with filling into a food processor and grind into fine crumbs. Stir in the melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch casserole dish. Chill in the fridge or freezer to firm up while preparing the next layer.
  2. Make Hot Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Layer: Beat the softened butter and cream cheese together along with vanilla extract and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Mix in the instant milk chocolate powder until fully combined. Fold in the Cool Whip gently. Spread this mousse evenly over the chilled Oreo crust and return to the fridge or freezer to set.
  3. Prepare Chocolate Pudding Layer: In a bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mixes with milk until the mixture starts to thicken. Spread the pudding evenly over the set hot chocolate mousse layer. Place the entire dish back in the fridge or freezer to allow the pudding to firm up.
  4. Add Whipped Cream Topping: Once the pudding layer has set, spread the heavy whipping cream or prepared whipped cream over the pudding layer. Refrigerate for several hours, preferably overnight, to allow all layers to set together.
  5. Finish with Marshmallow Topping: Before serving, sprinkle the 2 cups of mini marshmallows evenly over the top layer.
  6. Serve: Drizzle with melted chocolate or Nutella for added indulgence and serve chilled.
  7. Storage: Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Using the freezer to set layers speeds up the chilling process.
  • You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
  • For extra texture, consider lightly toasting the mini marshmallows before topping.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 3-4 days.
  • Adjust sweetness by moderating the amount of powdered sugar to suit taste.
