Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Spread the chocolate pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer, smoothing it out evenly.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the chopped mint chocolate chunks on top of the whipped topping. This adds a delightful crunch and enhances the minty flavor.
- 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.
