Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer

  • 2 cups crushed chocolate cookies or graham crackers

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 1 package (3.9 oz) chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional mix-in)

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

Topping Layer

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows or marshmallow fluff
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Pudding: Whisk the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk until thickened and smooth. Place in the refrigerator to set while preparing other layers.
  2. Mix the Cream Cheese Layer: In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping to create a light, fluffy mixture.
  3. Assemble the Base Layer: Spread the crushed chocolate cookies or graham crackers evenly on the bottom of your serving dish to create a crunchy foundation.
  4. Add the Cream Cheese Layer: Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the base layer, smoothing the surface in preparation for the pudding layer.
  5. Layer the Chocolate Pudding: Spread the chilled chocolate pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer for a luscious, cohesive layer.
  6. Top with Marshmallows and Chocolate Chips: Scatter mini marshmallows and chocolate chips generously over the pudding layer to add texture and extra sweetness.
  7. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled lasagna for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld perfectly.

Notes

  • Chill thoroughly to let layers firm up and flavors blend.
  • Use softened cream cheese for a smoother cream layer.
  • Opt for high-quality chocolate products to enhance richness.
  • Spread each layer evenly for a visually appealing dessert and balanced taste.
  • Do not skip the crunchy base layer for added texture contrast.
