Ingredients:
- 36 standard Oreo cookies
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp whole milk
- 1 tsp pure peppermint extract
- 2 drops red gel food coloring
- 16 oz stabilized whipped topping, thawed and divided
- 7.8 oz instant chocolate pudding mix (two 3.9 oz packages)
- 3 cups cold whole milk
- 0.5 cup crushed peppermint candy canes
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate curls
Instructions:
- Pulse 36 Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Mix with 6 tablespoons of melted butter and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt until combined.
- Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon peppermint extract, and optional food coloring until aerated. Gently fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping.
- Spread the peppermint cream layer evenly over the chilled crust using an offset spatula.
- In a separate bowl, whisk two packages of instant chocolate pudding with 3 cups of cold whole milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Spread the pudding over the peppermint layer.
- Top the lasagna with the remaining 8 ounces of whipped topping. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes and chocolate curls.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the structural matrix to set before slicing into 15 generous portions.
