Mint Oreo Crust
- 20 ounces mint Oreos
- 6 tablespoons salted sweet cream butter, melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons salted sweet cream butter, softened (for buttering the baking dish)
Mint No Bake Cheesecake Layer
- 16 ounces (2 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 16 ounces (2 8-ounce containers) whipped topping, thawed
- 1½ teaspoons pure mint extract
- 2–3 drops green food color gel
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 7.8 ounces (2 3.9-ounce packages) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold whole milk
- Prepare the crust: Preheat your refrigerator. Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish with the softened salted sweet cream butter. Crush the mint Oreos in a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form. Combine the crushed Oreos with the melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to set.
- Make the mint cheesecake layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping, mint extract, and green food color gel until evenly combined, creating a light green, minty cheesecake filling. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Refrigerate for another 15 minutes to allow the layer to set slightly.
- Prepare and add the chocolate pudding layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mixes with the cold whole milk until thickened, following the package instructions. Once the pudding is ready, spread it evenly over the mint cheesecake layer in the baking dish.
- Chill the assembled dessert: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the entire Mint Chocolate Lasagna for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow all layers to firm up and flavors to meld perfectly.
- Serve: Once chilled and set, slice into squares and serve cold. Garnish optionally with additional whipped topping or crushed mint Oreos if desired.
Notes
- This dessert is best served chilled and within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
- Use salted sweet cream butter for the best flavor balance in the crust.
- Adjust the amount of green food coloring based on your preferred tint intensity.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute the whole milk with 2% milk, though pudding texture might be slightly different.
