Chocolate Lasagna

Instructions

1. Start by crushing the Oreo cookies. You can use a food processor to make this step easier. If you don't have a food processor, simply place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin until you have fine crumbs.

2. In a bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to create a firm crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the next layer.

3. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the sugar and 2 tablespoons of cold milk, and mix until well combined. Gently fold in about half of the whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

4. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled Oreo crust in an even layer. Return the dish to the refrigerator to set while you move on to the next layer.

5. In a separate bowl, prepare the chocolate pudding by whisking together the chocolate pudding mix and 3 1/4 cups of cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until the pudding starts to thicken.

6. Pour the chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Allow the pudding layer to set in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.

7. Once the pudding layer has set slightly, spread the remaining whipped topping over the top. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips generously over the whipped topping layer.

8. For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle a bit of chocolate syrup over the mini chocolate chips.

9. Chill the Chocolate Lasagna in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow all the flavors to meld together and set properly.
