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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Top with Marshmallows (Optional): Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the pudding layer if using, to add extra fluffiness and texture.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled lasagna for at least 3 hours, or until all layers have fully set and are firm enough to slice easily.
- 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.
