Ingredients

• Cream cheese – 8 oz, softened
• Powdered sugar – ½ cup
• Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
• Instant chocolate pudding mix – 3.4 oz
• Milk – 2 cups
• Whipped topping (like Cool Whip) – 1 ½ cups, divided

Instructions

1. Make the crust: Crush Oreos finely in a food processor or by hand in a zip-top bag. Mix with melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of a 9×9-inch pan to form a firm crust. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
2. Prepare the cream cheese layer: In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Fold in ½ cup whipped topping. Spread evenly over the chilled crust.
3. Make the chocolate pudding layer: In another bowl, whisk together instant chocolate pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Spread pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
4. Add the whipped topping layer: Spread remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer. Smooth with a spatula for a clean, even finish.
5. Garnish for Christmas: Sprinkle festive red and green crumbs, crushed Oreos, or holiday sprinkles on top for a cheerful finishing touch.
6. Chill before serving: Refrigerate the lasagna for at least 2–3 hours to allow layers to set. Slice into squares and serve cold.
