Ingredients
Scale
Oreo Crust
- 1 package (15.35 oz) Oreo cookies (regular or holiday-themed), crushed
- 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
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
- Prepare the Oreo Crust: In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies (reserving some whole cookies for the topping) until finely crushed. Combine the crushed cookies with melted butter, mixing 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.
- Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. 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 until fully combined. Spread this creamy mixture evenly over the Oreo crust in the baking dish.
- Make the Pudding Layer: In another bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with the milk until smooth. Allow it to rest for about 2 minutes to thicken. Once set, spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Top with Marshmallows (Optional): Sprinkle mini marshmallows over the pudding layer to add extra fluffiness and texture.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled lasagna for at least 3 hours, or until the layers have set and firmed up, making slicing easier.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the top with crushed peppermint candies or mini M&Ms, red and green sprinkles, and whole Oreo cookies for a festive holiday presentation. Slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, use regular Oreos or holiday-themed Oreos for a seasonal touch.
- The mini marshmallows are optional but add a fun, fluffy texture to the dessert.
- You can substitute milk with a non-dairy alternative if desired, keeping in mind it may affect the pudding setting.
- Make sure to chill the dessert thoroughly to allow it to set properly before slicing.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
