🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything you’ll need to bring this dessert to life:

For the Crust:

1 package (14.3 oz) Holiday Oreos (preferably with red & green crème)
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Layer:

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

For the Pudding Layer:

2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant chocolate pudding
3 cups cold milk

For the Topping:

1 container (8 oz) whipped topping
Crushed holiday Oreos
Red and green sprinkles

Optional Add-ons:

Mini Oreos for garnish (like in the image)
Peppermint bits for extra holiday flair

🍪 Let’s Talk About the Oreos – The Star of the Show

The soul of this dessert? Oreos. Specifically, those festive, limited-edition red and green crème-filled holiday Oreos. They bring both the chocolate crunch and that seasonal pop of color that makes this dessert Instagram-worthy.

Pro tip: Don’t remove the filling! Crush them whole—it helps bind the crust and adds a creamy texture throughout. You can use a food processor for fine crumbs or place them in a zip-top bag and go to town with a rolling pin.

Reserve about ¼ cup of crumbs for the final topping—because that extra crunch on top? Chef’s kiss.

🥄 Making the Perfect Oreo Crust

Your first layer sets the stage, so let’s get it right. Mix your crushed Oreos (minus that reserved ¼ cup) with melted butter until you have a damp, sand-like mixture. Press it into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to really pack it down tight. You want a firm, even layer that holds its shape when sliced.

Pop the crust in the fridge for about 10–15 minutes to set. This helps solidify the butter and creates a solid base for the soft layers to come.

🍰 Creamy Cheesecake Layer – Light, Tangy, and Fluffy

This layer is where the magic starts to build. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. Then add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract—this adds that sweet, slightly tangy cheesecake flavor that balances out the rich chocolate below.

Fold in the whipped topping gently. You don’t want to beat the air out—you want it fluffy! Spread this layer over the chilled crust. Use a spatula to make it as even as possible, going all the way to the edges.

The combination of cream cheese and Cool Whip gives this layer a mousse-like texture that pairs beautifully with the crunchy Oreo base.

🍫 Luscious Chocolate Pudding Layer

Grab your instant pudding mix and cold milk (whole milk works best for creaminess). Whisk them together for about 2 minutes until thick and velvety. You want the pudding to be nice and set—not runny—before you spread it.

Layer the pudding evenly on top of the cheesecake layer. It adds a rich, chocolatey surprise in the middle that contrasts perfectly with the sweet, tangy layers surrounding it.

This is where the dessert starts to feel like a chocolate dream come true.

☁️ Cloud-like Whipped Topping Magic

Top everything off with your final container of whipped topping. It acts like fluffy snow blanketing your dessert lasagna. Carefully spread it out with a spatula or spoon so it covers the pudding layer without disturbing it.

Think of this as your frosting layer—it ties everything together visually and taste-wise.

✨ Garnishing: The Festive Finish

Now for the fun part! Sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs across the top, then scatter red and green sprinkles generously. Want to take it up a notch? Press a few mini Oreos into the top (as shown in the photo) and maybe even a drizzle of white chocolate or crushed peppermint.

This step transforms your lasagna from a delicious dessert to a centerpiece-worthy Christmas creation.

🕒 Chill Time: The Most Important Step

Don’t skip this step—it’s crucial. After assembling all your layers, cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and pop it into the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better. This allows all the layers to firm up and meld together, so when you slice into it, everything holds its shape beautifully.

It might be tempting to dive in right away (especially with how good it smells), but trust the process. A properly chilled Oreo lasagna is creamy yet structured, and every bite delivers a little piece of holiday heaven.

🎁 Serving Suggestions

Once your dessert is fully chilled, slice it into squares using a sharp knife. For cleaner cuts, wipe your knife with a warm cloth between slices. You can serve it straight from the dish, or transfer slices onto festive holiday plates for a touch of seasonal charm.

Want to get a little fancy? Add a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or a peppermint stick on the side. It’s also perfect with a cup of hot cocoa or peppermint coffee.

Portion Tips:

This recipe yields about 12 generous servings, or 16 smaller squares if you’re serving a crowd.

📆 Make It Ahead: Perfect for Holiday Planning

One of the best things about this Christmas Oreo Lasagna? It’s a dream for holiday prep.

You can make it 1–2 days in advance and store it, covered, in the fridge until ready to serve. It actually gets better as it sits, allowing the flavors to blend even more. Just hold off on adding the sprinkles until the day of serving if you want them to stay crisp and vibrant.

Bringing it to a party?

Assemble it in a disposable foil pan with a lid for easy transport.
Keep it chilled in a cooler with ice packs if it’ll be out for a while.

🚨 Troubleshooting Common Mistakes

Even a no-bake dessert can have its moments. Here’s how to troubleshoot if things don’t go exactly as planned:

1. My dessert is too runny.

Make sure the pudding was fully set before layering.
Chill the entire dessert for the full 4+ hours.
Whipped topping and cream cheese should be cold to hold better.

2. The layers are mixing together.

Spread each layer gently and evenly.
Chill after each step if your kitchen is warm.

3. The crust is crumbly or falling apart.

Make sure to press the crust down firmly.
If too dry, add a bit more melted butter.

4. It’s too sweet for my taste.

Reduce powdered sugar in the cheesecake layer by 1–2 tablespoons.
Use plain whipped cream instead of sweetened topping for a lighter flavor.
