Chocolate Lasagna

For those of you chocolate lovers...here is your dream come true. The perfect chocolate dessert.

One word...YUMMY!

Ingredients:

36 Oreo cookies

6 tablespoons butter, melted

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1⁄4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons milk, cold

1 (12 ounce) container Cool Whip, divided

2 (4 ounce) packages chocolate instant pudding

3 1⁄4 cups milk, cold

1 1⁄2 cups mini chocolate chips

Directions:

Begin by crushing 36 Oreo cookies. I used my food processor for this, but you could also place them in a large ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. When the Oreos have turned into fine crumbs, you are done.

Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a large bowl.

Stir in 6 tablespoons melted butter and use a fork to incorporate the butter into the cookie crumbs.

When the butter is distributed, transfer the mixture to a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator while you work on the additional layers.

Mix the cream cheese with a mixer until light and fluffy.

Add in 2 Tablespoons of milk, and sugar, and mix well.

Stir in 1 and 1/4 cups Cool Whip.

Spread this mixture over the crust.

In a bowl, combine chocolate instant pudding with 3 and 1/4 cups cold milk. Whisk for several minutes until the pudding starts to thicken.

Use a spatula to spread the pudding mixture over the previous cream cheese layer.

Allow the dessert to rest for about 5 minutes so that the pudding can firm up further.

Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top.

Sprinkle mini chocolate chips evenly over the top.

Place in the freezer for 1 hour, or the refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.
