Ingredients
- 2 cups Christmas-themed sandwich cookies (like red and green Oreos), crushed
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 ½ cups cold whole milk, divided
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup festive sprinkles (red, green, white)
- ½ cup extra crushed Christmas cookies for topping
Step-by-Step Directions
1. Prep the Cookie Crust
- In a medium bowl, mix 2 cups crushed Christmas cookies with the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to create an even crust layer. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the next layer.
2. Make the Cream Cheese Layer
- Using a hand mixer, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping until fully combined and fluffy.
- Spread this mixture gently over the chilled cookie crust, then return to the fridge for 10 minutes.
3. Prepare the Pudding Layers
- In one bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding mix with 1 ¼ cups cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes).
- Spread the vanilla pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Repeat with the chocolate pudding mix and the remaining 1 ¼ cups cold milk, then layer the chocolate pudding on top of the vanilla pudding.
4. Add the Toppings
- Spread the remaining 1 cup whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer.
- Sprinkle mini chocolate chips, festive sprinkles, and extra crushed cookies on top for a beautiful finish.
5. Chill and Serve
- Cover the lasagna with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours—overnight is even better for perfect slices.
- Cut into squares, serve chilled, and enjoy every festive bite!
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.

- For extra stability, chill each layer for 10-15 minutes before adding the next.
