Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by crushing 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin. In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with ½ cup melted unsalted butter, mixing until well blended. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan, forming an even layer. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes until it holds together.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with ½ cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in ½ cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gently fold in 2 cups of whipped topping until light and fluffy. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  3. In two separate bowls, prepare the pudding mixes for the Christmas Dessert Lasagna. Start with the chocolate pudding by mixing 1 box of instant chocolate pudding mix with 1½ cups of cold milk. Stir until you reach a thick consistency, which should take about 2 minutes. Repeat the process with 1 box of instant vanilla pudding mix and 1½ cups of cold milk, ensuring both puddings are thick and ready for layering.
  4. Once the cream cheese filling is set, pour the chocolate pudding layer over the cream cheese, spreading it evenly for a smooth surface. Then, gently spread the vanilla pudding over the chocolate layer, ensuring both puddings create distinct layers in your Christmas Dessert Lasagna. Use a spatula to even the top for a polished look.
  5. Take the remaining 2 cups of whipped topping and spread it delicately over the vanilla pudding layer, creating a fluffy, snow-like appearance. For an appealing finish, use a spatula to create soft swirls or peaks in the whipped topping, enhancing the festive look of this delightful holiday dessert.
  6. Decorate your Christmas Dessert Lasagna with colorful holiday sprinkles and candies, which adds a fun and festive touch to the dessert. Be creative with the placement, ensuring even coverage across the top.
  7. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate your Christmas Dessert Lasagna for at least 4 hours, though overnight is preferred for optimal flavor and texture. Cut into squares and enjoy the delightful layers with family and friends.

Notes

Allow your Christmas Dessert Lasagna to chill for at least 4 hours. Use a warm knife to cut through the layers cleanly. Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
