What Is Oreo Lasagna?

Oreo Lasagna is a layered no-bake dessert made with a crushed Oreo cookie crust, a fluffy cheesecake-style filling, whipped topping, and additional crushed Oreo cookies. After several hours in the refrigerator, the layers become firm, creating a creamy dessert that’s easy to slice and serve.

The combination of crunchy chocolate cookies and smooth cream cheese filling makes it similar to a cookies-and-cream cheesecake, but much easier to prepare.

10 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Ingredient Notes

Oreo Cookies

Classic Oreo cookies provide the rich chocolate flavor that makes this dessert irresistible. Use the entire cookie, including the filling.

Butter

Melted salted butter binds the cookie crumbs together and creates a firm, flavorful crust.

Cream Cheese

Full-fat cream cheese gives the filling its rich, smooth cheesecake texture. Be sure it’s softened to room temperature to avoid lumps.

Powdered Sugar

Powdered sugar blends seamlessly into the filling, creating a silky, creamy consistency.

Whipped Topping

Folded into the cream cheese mixture, whipped topping makes the filling light, fluffy, and easy to spread.

Vanilla Extract

Vanilla enhances the creamy cheesecake flavor and complements the chocolate cookies.

How to Make Oreo Lasagna

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Crust

Place the 48 Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Transfer the crumbs to a large mixing bowl and stir in the melted butter until every crumb is evenly coated.

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, creating an even layer. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to compact the crust.

Place the crust in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to firm up while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy.

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.

Continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the filling airy.

Fold in the 6 crushed Oreo cookies for extra cookies-and-cream flavor.

Step 3: Assemble the Dessert

Remove the chilled Oreo crust from the refrigerator.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust using an offset spatula.

Smooth the surface to create an even layer.

If desired, add another layer of whipped topping for an extra light finish.

Step 4: Decorate

Sprinkle generously with crushed Oreo cookies.

For an elegant presentation, decorate with whipped topping swirls, mini Oreo cookies, chocolate curls, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

Step 5: Chill

Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set completely.

Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Expert Tips

Let the cream cheese soften completely before mixing to ensure a smooth filling.
Chill the crust before adding the filling so it stays firm.
Fold the whipped topping in gently to keep the filling light and fluffy.
Refrigerating overnight gives the dessert the best texture and makes slicing easier.
For clean slices, wipe your knife with a warm, damp towel between cuts.
