Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 14.3 ounces Oreos (not Double Stuf, crushed)
  • 5 tablespoons butter (melted)
For the Cream Cheese Layer:
  • 16 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or half-and-half)
  • 2 teaspoons peppermint extract (mint extract can also be used)
  • 6 drops liquid green food coloring
For the Chocolate Pudding Layer:
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 5.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix (family-size package)
For Topping:
  • 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 ounces whipped topping
  • 1 cup mint chocolate chunks (chopped)

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are fully coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your 9x13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Set it aside to firm up while you prepare the filling.
  2. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, milk (or half-and-half), peppermint extract, and green food coloring. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  3. Spread the cream cheese layer evenly over the prepared Oreo crust. Use a spatula to smooth it out, making sure it reaches all corners of the pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant chocolate pudding mix until it thickens. This should take about 2 minutes. Once thickened, fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips for added chocolatey goodness.
  5. Spread the chocolate pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer, smoothing it out evenly.
  6. Top the chocolate pudding layer with the whipped topping, spreading it evenly. Feel free to get creative with the presentation; you can swirl it or leave it smooth.
  7. Sprinkle the chopped mint chocolate chunks on top of the whipped topping. This adds a delightful crunch and enhances the minty flavor.
  8. Cover the Chocolate Mint Lasagna with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the layers to set beautifully. Once ready to serve, cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Don't skip the chilling time; it's essential for the layers to set properly.
  • You can use Greek yogurt instead of whipped topping for a lighter version.
