Description

Hot Chocolate Lasagna is a decadent, no-bake dessert featuring layers of chocolate cookie crust, creamy cocoa cheesecake, rich chocolate pudding, and fluffy whipped topping with chocolate chips. This indulgent treat captures the essence of classic hot cocoa in a fun, layered format, perfect for holiday celebrations, parties, or any chocolate lover’s craving.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 36 chocolate sandwich cookies, finely crushed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Chocolate Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping or whipped cream

Hot Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 2 (3.9 oz) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk

Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Chocolate shavings or mini marshmallows (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine the finely crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with melted unsalted butter until the mixture is evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form an even crust layer, then refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
  2. Make the cheesecake layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until fully combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy. Spread this chocolate cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled cookie crust.
  3. Prepare the pudding layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk vigorously for about 2 minutes until the pudding thickens. Evenly spread the thickened pudding over the cheesecake layer.
  4. Add the topping: Spread 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top, and optionally garnish with chocolate shavings or mini marshmallows for extra texture and flavor.
  5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours to allow all layers to set properly. For best slicing and serving results, chill overnight. Slice into servings and enjoy your rich hot chocolate lasagna.

Notes

  • Chilling overnight improves slices and layering.
  • Use hot chocolate pudding mix if available for a more intense cocoa flavor.
  • This dessert can be made up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
