Indulge in the rich, layered delight of Hot Chocolate Lasagna, a no-bake dessert featuring a crunchy Oreo crust, creamy cream cheese layer, silky chocolate pudding, topped with whipped cream, toasted mini marshmallows, and drizzled melted chocolate for a perfect sweet treat.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups whipped topping, divided

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 3.9 oz instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

Toppings

  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted
  • Graham cracker crumbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to create your crust layer. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the next layer.
  2. Make the cream cheese layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and fluffy. Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until well combined and no streaks remain. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust, making sure to reach all corners. Return to the refrigerator.
  3. Prepare the pudding layer: Whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes until it begins to thicken. Let it sit for 5 minutes to fully set. Carefully spread the chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer, creating a smooth, even surface. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the pudding is completely set.
  4. Add the topping: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the set chocolate pudding layer. Arrange mini marshmallows on top in an even layer. If desired, use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallows until golden brown.
  5. Finish and chill: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the entire dessert in a decorative pattern. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and additional chocolate shavings if desired. Refrigerate for at least 1 more hour before serving to allow all layers to set properly. Cut into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • Instant pudding mix must be chocolate flavor for the best results.
  • Use a kitchen torch to toast marshmallows safely; alternatively, you can place under a broiler for a minute but watch carefully.
  • Ensure each layer is fully chilled before adding the next to maintain crisp layers.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, add a sprinkle of cocoa powder to the cream cheese layer.
