Chocolate Lasagna

Chocolate Lasagna with layers of chocolate cookie crust, cream cheese, chocolate ganache, pudding, and whipped cream. It’s so easy to make and will be a hit every time. It’s like biting into a soft, fluffy chocolate cloud on top of a cookie crust.

During the warm summer months, no one wants to start up an oven, right? Right! This dessert is no-bake including the chocolate cookie crust. The crust firms up from the butter while it’s sitting in the fridge. Talk about the perfect summer dessert!

This chocolate lasagna has a little extra chocolate added to it. I really wanted to go overboard with making every layer chocolate, but quickly realized that the layers probably wouldn’t be noticeable which sort of makes the “lasagna” part void.

I’m the kind of lady that likes to add a little extra cheese to an already cheesy dish, a little extra sugar to a sweetened iced tea, and chocolate to a chocolaty dessert. I can’t help myself. I’m a little extra.

INSTRUCTIONS

Crust

  • Add the cookies into the food processor. Pulse until the cookies are all a fine crumb. If you don't have a food processor, add them into a storage bag and crush them with a rolling pin into a fine crumb. 
  • Add in the sugar and melted butter and stir until the crumbs are coated with butter. 
  • Press the crumbs firmly into a 9x13 glass pan. Place in the fridge to chill while working on the next layers.
