Ingredients

  • 1 package (15.35 oz) Oreo cookies (regular or holiday-themed)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional, for extra fluffiness)
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies or mini M&Ms (for garnish)
  • Red and green sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
  • Extra whole Oreos for topping

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies, reserving some for topping, until finely crushed. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large bowl until smooth. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then spread this evenly over the Oreo crust.
  3. Step 3: Whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with milk in a separate bowl and allow it to thicken for about 2 minutes. Spread the pudding layer evenly on top of the cream cheese layer.
  4. Step 4: (Optional) Sprinkle mini marshmallows over the pudding layer for an extra fluffy texture.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate the lasagna for at least 3 hours until the layers are set and firm enough to slice.
  6. Step 6: Before serving, garnish with crushed peppermint candies, red and green sprinkles, and whole Oreo cookies. Slice into squares and enjoy your festive dessert!

Tips & Variations

  • For a richer crust, you can add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the crushed Oreos before mixing with butter.
  • If mini marshmallows aren’t available, try using whipped topping for a similar fluffy effect.
  • Substitute peppermint candies with crushed candy canes for a classic holiday flavor.
  • Use holiday-themed Oreos to enhance the festive look and taste.

Storage

Store the Oreo lasagna covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it chilled to maintain the layers’ texture. When ready to serve again, slice and enjoy cold—reheating is not recommended for this no-bake dessert.

FAQs

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Yes, this no-bake lasagna actually benefits from chilling overnight as it allows the layers to set fully and the flavors to meld together.

Can I use other types of cookies instead of Oreos?

Absolutely. Chocolate wafer cookies or any chocolate sandwich cookie can be used for the crust if you prefer a different flavor or texture.

Description

This No-Bake Christmas Oreo Lasagna is a festive, layered dessert featuring a crushed Oreo cookie crust, a creamy whipped cream cheese layer, a smooth vanilla pudding layer, and optional marshmallows for extra fluffiness. Garnished with crushed peppermint candies, sprinkles, and Oreo cookies, it’s a delightful, easy-to-make holiday treat that requires no baking and chills to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 package (15.35 oz) Oreo cookies (regular or holiday-themed)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pudding Layer

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk

Optional Topping

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional, for extra fluffiness)

Garnish

  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies or mini M&Ms
  • Red and green sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
  • Extra whole Oreos for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Crust: In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies, reserving some for topping, until finely crushed. Combine the crushed Oreos with melted butter and mix until all crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Set aside.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream together with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and airy. Spread this evenly over the Oreo crust in the baking dish.
  3. Make the Pudding Layer: Whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk in a separate bowl. Let it sit for about 2 minutes to thicken completely. Once thickened, spread the pudding layer evenly over the cream cheese layer in the baking dish.
  4. Top with Marshmallows (Optional): Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the pudding layer if using, to add extra fluffiness and texture.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled lasagna for at least 3 hours, or until all layers have fully set and are firm enough to slice easily.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the top of the lasagna with crushed peppermint candies or mini M&Ms, red and green sprinkles, and place extra whole Oreo cookies on top for a festive holiday presentation. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the cream cheese layer.
  • Chilling time can be extended overnight for firmer layers and easier slicing.
  • Mini marshmallows are optional but add a nice fluffy texture.
  • You can substitute peppermint candies with holiday-themed sprinkles for a different look.
  • Use a food processor for the Oreo crust to get a fine, even crumble.
