Raspberry Chocolate Lasagna Delight (Print-Friendly Version)

Creamy chocolate and raspberry layers on a cookie crust for a refreshing, chilled treat.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 1 package (14.3 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies, finely crushed
02 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

→ Cream Cheese Layer

03 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
04 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
05 - 2 tablespoons milk
06 - 8 oz whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip), divided

→ Raspberry Layer

07 - 1 cup raspberry pie filling or raspberry preserves

→ Chocolate Pudding Layer

08 - 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
09 - 1 1/2 cups cold milk

→ Garnish (optional)

10 - 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with melted butter in a medium bowl until thoroughly moistened. Press firmly into the base of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even layer. Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons milk, blending until creamy. Gently fold in half of the thawed whipped topping until fully incorporated. Spread evenly over the chilled crust.
03 - Spoon raspberry pie filling or preserves evenly over the cream cheese layer, ensuring a consistent spread to the edges.
04 - Whisk chocolate pudding mix with 1 1/2 cups cold milk for 2 to 3 minutes, or until thickened. Evenly distribute pudding over the raspberry layer using a spatula.
05 - Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer in an even layer. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips if desired.
06 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for optimal texture and flavor development. Slice and serve chilled.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For clean slices, use a sharp knife cleaned between cuts. Let the dessert rest at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing to ease serving.
