Raspberry Chocolate Lasagna Dessert Recipe

Introduction

This Raspberry Chocolate Lasagna Dessert is a luscious no-bake treat perfect for any occasion. Layers of Oreo crust, creamy chocolate pudding, and fresh raspberry filling combine into a delightful and refreshing dessert that’s easy to prepare and sure to impress.

Ingredients

• 20-25 Oreo cookies
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 package chocolate pudding mix
• 1 cup milk (divided: 1 cup for pudding, 2 tablespoons for raspberry layer)
• 1/2 cup Cool Whip (for chocolate layer)
• 1 cup Cool Whip (for raspberry layer and topping)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen

Instructions

1. Step 1: Crush the Oreo cookies finely and mix them with the melted butter. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch Pyrex dish. Place the crust in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
2. Step 2: Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package instructions, using only half the recommended amount of milk (about 1/2 cup). Once the pudding thickens, gently fold in 1/2 cup of Cool Whip. Spread this chocolate mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Freeze for 10–15 minutes to firm up.
3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Carefully fold in the raspberries and 1 cup of Cool Whip. Spread this raspberry layer over the set chocolate pudding layer.
4. Step 4: Top the dessert with additional Cool Whip as desired and decorate with a few raspberries or chocolate shavings for garnish.
5. Step 5: Chill the completed dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld.

Tips & Variations

• For a stronger chocolate flavor, use double chocolate Oreos or add a drizzle of melted dark chocolate on top.
• Fresh raspberries add brightness, but frozen raspberries work well—just thaw and drain excess liquid before folding in.
• To make it dairy-free, substitute with dairy-free cream cheese and pudding mixes, and use coconut-based whipped topping.
• Make the dessert a day ahead for the best flavor development and easier serving.

Storage

Store leftovers covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture and flavor, consume within this time. Reheat is not recommended; serve chilled directly from the fridge.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different cookie for the crust?

Yes, you can substitute Oreos with any chocolate wafer or sandwich cookie you prefer. Just crush them finely and mix with melted butter as usual.

Do I have to freeze between layers?

Freezing between layers helps the dessert set properly and makes spreading the next layer easier. If you’re short on time, refrigerate for longer periods, but freezing is recommended for best results.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Crust

• 20–25 Oreo cookies, crushed
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Chocolate Pudding Layer

• 1 package chocolate pudding mix
• 1 cup milk (1/2 cup for pudding, 2 tablespoons for raspberry layer)
• 1/2 cup Cool Whip

Raspberry Layer

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cup Cool Whip

Topping

• Remaining Cool Whip for topping and decoration

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix thoroughly with melted butter. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8×8 Pyrex dish to form the crust. Place the dish in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set the crust firmly.
2. Make the Chocolate Pudding Layer: Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package instructions but use only half the recommended milk (about 1/2 cup). Once the pudding has thickened, gently fold in 1/2 cup of Cool Whip to lighten the texture, then spread this chocolate layer evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Return the dish to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to let the layer firm up.
3. Create the Raspberry Layer: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the raspberries along with 1 cup of Cool Whip, ensuring the raspberries are evenly distributed but not mashed. Spread this raspberry mixture evenly over the chilled chocolate pudding layer.
4. Assemble and Decorate: Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the raspberry layer to create a smooth, creamy topping. Decorate as desired with extra raspberries or chocolate shavings for presentation.
5. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set properly and flavors to meld together. Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing and indulgent treat.

Notes

• Use organic ingredients when possible for enhanced flavor and quality.
• For best results, prepare this dessert a day ahead to allow all layers to fully set and flavors to develop.
• Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
