Total Time:3 hours 20 minutes
Yield:12 servings
Ingredients
Oreo 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
Toppings
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
Prepare the Oreo Crust: In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies, reserving some for topping, until finely crushed. Mix the crushed Oreos with melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Set aside.
Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Spread this creamy mixture evenly over the Oreo crust in the baking dish.
Make the Pudding Layer: In another bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk. Let it sit for about 2 minutes to thicken. Once set, spread the pudding layer evenly over the cream cheese layer in the dish.
Top with Marshmallows (Optional): Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the pudding layer for an extra fluffy and festive touch.
Chill: Refrigerate the assembled lasagna for at least 3 hours or until firm. This chilling step ensures that the layers set well and the dessert is easy to slice.
Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the top with crushed peppermint candies or mini M&Ms, red and green sprinkles, and extra whole Oreo cookies for a festive holiday presentation. Slice into squares and enjoy your delicious no-bake Christmas Oreo lasagna!
Notes
For a firmer crust, chill the Oreo crumb mixture in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before pressing it into the dish.
Use holiday-themed Oreos and sprinkles to make the dessert more festive and colorful.
Mini marshmallows are optional but add a nice fluffy texture; you can omit them if preferred.
Keep the dessert refrigerated until serving to maintain its structure and freshness.
This dessert can be prepared a day ahead, making it perfect for holiday parties and gatherings.
Substitute heavy whipping cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free variation, though texture will differ slightly.
