Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a food processor, pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. In a medium bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
Form the Crust: Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, creating an even layer. Place it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to set and harden.
Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 2 cups of whipped topping until fully incorporated.
Spread Cream Cheese Mixture: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled cookie crust, creating a uniform layer.
Prepare the Chocolate Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the pudding thickens.
Add Pudding Layer: Pour the thickened chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer and smooth it out evenly.
Top with Whipped Cream: Spread the remaining 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping evenly over the chocolate pudding layer.
Garnish: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips or shaved chocolate on top of the whipped topping for added texture and flavor.
Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled chocolate lasagna for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow all layers to fully set and flavors to meld.
Serve: Slice the dessert into servings and enjoy chilled for a refreshing and indulgent treat.

Notes

For best results, use cold milk to ensure the pudding sets properly.
Letting the dessert chill overnight improves the texture and makes slicing easier.
You can substitute the chocolate sandwich cookies with gluten-free chocolate cookies to make it gluten-free.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Mini chocolate chips can be replaced with shaved dark or milk chocolate.
