Can you make this dessert ahead of time?
You can store chocolate lasagna in the refrigerator for an additional three to four days. This dessert can be made up to two to three days in advance.
Make sure that it is sealed in an airtight container or is covered in some type of plastic wrap or covering when storing.
How do I keep the Oreo crust from falling apart?
Finely grind the Oreos by using a food processor. When you have large chunks of Oreo, it is more difficult for the butter and Oreos to stick together and make a firm crust.
Make sure to include the filling when grinding your Oreos. This will help everything stick together even better and will result in a more delicious crust.
Once you put your Oreo crust into your pan, firmly press the ground Oreo down using a glass or a cup measurer and not just your hands.
A chocolate dessert to die for!
Ok, so that may be taking it a bit far, but my gosh, this chocolate lasagna is out of this world amazing! The Oreo crust provides a wonderful rich texture and the layers are silky smooth, light and fluffy.
This Chocolate Lasagna Recipe is great for any time of years. You can take it to BBQs, make it for a fun weeknight dinner, or even bring it to Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter. It’s so versatile and loved by all!
Tips!
- Double stuff Oreos are tasty to eat, but they have too much filling for this crust. The regular sized Oreos have just enough filling to help everything stick together nicely and make for a great crust.
- I used salted butter for the Oreo crust. If using unsalted butter, feel free to add a pinch of salt to the Oreo crust, but it’s not entirely necessary.
- I prefer to use mini chocolate chips for the topping. It keeps any chocolate from sinking down through the whipped topping layer and makes for a better bite because the chocolate lasagna is so light and fluffy.

Nutrition Information
I thought evaporated milk was part of the recipe, this calls for milk.
Hi Jann, this recipe has not changed!
Is there a way that we can make this a little less caloric and still maintain the taste…any substitutions for the butter….applesauce or yogurt ?
You can use low-fat cream cheese or cottage cheese in place of full-fat and low-fat milk in the pudding layer. I’m not sure the flavor of applesauce would work well as a sub for the butter, but banana might if you like chocolate and banana together.
I’ve been making this with gluten free Oreos and dairy free cream cheese(violife) and whipped topping(cocowhip). Absolute hit! Even my very gluten and dairy lovers love this! Any thoughts on if I could make it in a spring form pan? I’m wondering if it would stay in that shape or would it become a goopy mess?
Sounds delicious! I’ve not tried it in a springform pan, but I don’t think it would hold shape unless it was frozen.
What does whipped topping mean?
Cool whip!
I’ve made this a few times and it’s always been a hit with all…. so delicious
