Introduction

This Raspberry Chocolate Lasagna is a delightful no-bake dessert that combines rich chocolate, creamy layers, and fresh raspberries for a refreshingly sweet treat. Perfect for gatherings or a special family dessert, it’s both easy to make and visually stunning.

A square dessert bar with four visible layers sits on a white plate against a white marbled texture. The bottom layer is dark brown and crumbly, looking like a chocolate cookie crust. Above it is a smooth, light pink layer that appears creamy. On top of that is a thick, rich dark brown chocolate layer with a slightly glossy texture. The fourth layer is fluffy and white, looking like whipped cream. The dessert is topped with many bright red raspberries and small chocolate shavings scattered over the white cream.

Ingredients

20-25 Oreo cookies
6 tablespoons butter, melted

1 package chocolate pudding mix
1 cup milk (for pudding)

2 tablespoons milk (for raspberry layer)
1/2 cup Cool Whip (for chocolate layer)

1 cup Cool Whip (for raspberry layer)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen

Instructions

Step 1: Crush the Oreo cookies finely and mix them with the melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch Pyrex dish and place it in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.

Step 2: Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package instructions, using only half (1/2 cup) of the milk called for. Once set, gently fold in 1/2 cup of Cool Whip until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the Oreo crust and freeze for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract until creamy. Fold in the raspberries and 1 cup of Cool Whip, mixing gently to combine. Spread this raspberry layer evenly over the chilled chocolate pudding layer.
Step 4: Top the raspberry layer with the remaining Cool Whip. You can decorate the top with extra raspberries or chocolate shavings if desired.

Step 5: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours to allow all layers to set properly before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a crunchier crust, use freshly crushed Oreos just before layering. You can also substitute the Oreos with chocolate wafer cookies for a different flavor.
Swap fresh raspberries for frozen ones, but thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the dessert.

Add a tablespoon of raspberry jam to the cream cheese layer for extra fruity sweetness.
Use dark chocolate pudding for a richer chocolate flavor.

Storage

Store this dessert covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best served chilled, so keep it refrigerated until ready to serve. If you need to store it longer, freeze it tightly wrapped for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

FAQs

Can I use homemade chocolate pudding instead of mix?

Yes, homemade chocolate pudding works well in this recipe and can add a richer, fresher flavor. Just be sure it’s thickened and cooled before folding in the Cool Whip.

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Absolutely. In fact, making this dish a day in advance allows the layers to set perfectly and the flavors to meld. Just keep it refrigerated until serving.
