Indulge in this decadent Hot Chocolate Lasagna, a no-bake layered dessert combining crushed Oreo cookie crust, creamy sweetened cream cheese, rich chocolate pudding, fluffy whipped topping, gooey toasted mini marshmallows, and drizzled melted chocolate—all garnished with graham cracker crumbs for a delightful texture contrast. Perfect for satisfying any chocolate lover’s cravings with its creamy, crunchy, and gooey layers served chilled.

Ingredients

Crust

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

Cream Cheese Layer

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

Chocolate Pudding Layer

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

Topping

  • 1 cup whipped topping (remaining portion)
  • 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 Chocolate 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

  • You can substitute regular whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
  • Use a kitchen torch carefully when toasting marshmallows to avoid burning.
  • For a stronger chocolate flavor, you can add a layer of chocolate ganache instead of melted chocolate chips.
  • Make sure to chill the dessert for the full recommended time to allow layers to set perfectly for clean slices.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days.
