Olive Garden Chocolate Lasagna Recipe

Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 36 chocolate sandwich cookies
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp whole milk
  • 16 oz whipped topping, divided
  • 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 oz dark chocolate bar or chocolate shavings

Method
 

  1. Pulse the 36 chocolate sandwich cookies to fine crumbs, mix with the 6 tbsp melted butter until the crumbs clump like wet sand, press firmly into a 9x13-inch dish, and refrigerate.
  2. Beat the 8 oz cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and 2 tbsp milk on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth, fold in 1 1/4 cups whipped topping, spread over the crust, and return to the fridge.
  3. Whisk both packages of pudding mix into the 3 1/4 cups milk for 2 minutes until thick, spread immediately over the cream cheese layer, and refrigerate for 5 minutes.
  4. Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Shave the 1 1/2 oz dark chocolate over the top, slice into 12 squares with a clean blade, and serve straight from the fridge.

Notes

This dessert needs at least 4 hours to set, so plan ahead. The layers will be firmer and cleaner after overnight chilling, making it a reliable make-ahead option for gatherings. If your fridge runs warm, give it the full overnight chill to be safe.
