Ingredients

Crust

  • 20-25 Oreo cookies
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 1 package chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup milk (use 1/2 cup milk for pudding, reserve 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 20-25 Oreo cookies until finely ground. Mix the crushed cookies with 6 tablespoons of melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch Pyrex dish to form an even crust. Place the crust in the freezer and chill for 10 minutes to set.
  2. Make the chocolate pudding layer: Prepare the chocolate pudding mix using 1/2 cup of milk instead of the full amount specified on the package. Once the pudding is set, gently fold in 1/2 cup of Cool Whip to create a light, creamy consistency. Spread this chocolate pudding mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Return to the freezer for another 10-15 minutes to allow the layer to firm up.
  3. Create the raspberry layer: In a mixing bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gently fold in 1/2 cup raspberries along with 1 cup of Cool Whip. Spread this raspberry cream mixture carefully over the set chocolate pudding layer to keep the layers distinct.
  4. Assemble and finish: Top the dessert with the remaining Cool Whip, spreading evenly and decorating as desired for a visually appealing finish.
  5. Chill and serve: Cover the dish and refrigerate the assembled lasagna for at least 4 hours to allow all layers to set fully and flavors to meld. Serve chilled for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh raspberries; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid before adding to the raspberry layer to prevent sogginess.
  • Press the Oreo crust firmly to avoid crumbling when slicing.
  • Allow the dessert to chill completely before slicing to maintain clean layers.
  • This dessert can be prepared a day ahead and kept refrigerated.
  • For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped nuts on top before the final Chill step.
