Ingredients

  • 1 package (15.35 oz) Oreo cookies (regular or holiday-themed)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 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

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Oreo crust by pulsing the Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely crushed, reserving some for topping. Mix the crushed Oreos with melted butter until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then spread this layer evenly over the Oreo crust.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk. Allow it to thicken for about 2 minutes, then spread the pudding layer evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Step 4: If desired, sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the pudding layer for added fluffiness.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate the lasagna for at least 3 hours, or until the layers are set and firm enough to slice.
  6. Step 6: Just before serving, garnish the top with crushed peppermint candies, red and green sprinkles, and whole Oreo cookies for a festive look. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • Use holiday-themed Oreos and sprinkles to enhance the festive appearance.
  • For a richer topping, substitute half the heavy cream with whipped topping.
  • Add a layer of hot fudge sauce between the cream cheese and pudding layers for extra decadence.
  • If mini marshmallows aren’t available, chopped regular marshmallows or marshmallow fluff work well too.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This dessert is best served chilled; if it softens too much, simply return it to the fridge before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the layers may be compromised.

How to Serve

This dessert has five visible layers sitting on a white plate with a thin brown edge, placed on a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is a dark crumbly chocolate cookie base with loose crumbs around it. Above that is a creamy light beige layer mixed with pieces of crushed cookies. The middle layer is made of dark cookie pieces, topped by a layer of smooth off-white cream with a bright red jelly or fruit layer just above it. The top layer is fluffy white whipped cream sprinkled with chocolate cookie crumbs, decorated with three whole bright red cherries and two small round chocolate cookies standing upright on top.

Scale

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

Optional 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

  1. Prepare the Oreo Crust: In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies (reserve some for topping) until finely crushed. Combine the crushed Oreos with melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Set aside.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, then spread this mixture evenly over the Oreo crust in the baking dish.
  3. 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 thickened, spread the pudding layer evenly over the cream cheese layer in the dish.
  4. Top with Marshmallows (Optional): Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the pudding layer to add extra fluffiness and texture to the dessert.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled lasagna for at least 3 hours or until it is fully set. This step allows all layers to firm up and makes the dessert easier to slice.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the top of the lasagna with crushed peppermint candies, red and green sprinkles, and whole Oreo cookies for a festive holiday touch. Slice into squares and enjoy your delicious no-bake Christmas Oreo lasagna!

Notes

  • For best results, use cream cheese at room temperature to avoid lumps.
  • You can substitute mini M&Ms with other crushed candies if preferred.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, place the Oreos in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.
  • Make sure the pudding is thickened before spreading to prevent it from mixing with the cream cheese layer.
  • This dessert can be prepared a day ahead and kept refrigerated for convenience.
