• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream

• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for the whipped cream)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Prepare the Oreo crust: In a food processor, crush the 36 Oreos into fine crumbs. You can also place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a bowl and stir in the melted butter until the mixture is well combined.

2. Form the crust: Press the Oreo and butter mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form a uniform crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the creamy layers.

3. Make the cream cheese layer: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

4. Prepare the whipped cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with 1/4 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. This will be your fresh whipped cream layer.

5. Make the vanilla pudding layer: In another bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups of milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until it thickens.

6. Assemble the layers: Once the crust has chilled:

   • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.

   • Layer the vanilla pudding on top of the cream cheese mixture.

   • Spread the whipped cream on top of the pudding layer.

7. Add the topping: Roughly chop the remaining 10-12 Oreos and sprinkle them on top of the whipped cream layer. If you like, drizzle with chocolate syrup for an extra indulgent touch.

8. Chill and serve: Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to let the flavors meld and the dessert firm up.

9. Serve: Once chilled, cut into squares and serve your delicious Oreo Lasagna!
