Introduction

This Chocolate Chip Cookie Lasagna is a delightful layered dessert combining a soft cookie base, creamy cheesecake filling, and rich chocolate pudding topped with whipped cream. It’s perfect for parties or any time you want an indulgent treat that’s easy to make and impresses every time.

A square layered dessert sits on a white plate over a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is a thick, light golden cookie crust with visible chocolate chips. Above it is a thinner, creamy white layer, topped by a thick, smooth dark chocolate layer with a few bubbles visible. The topmost layer is fluffy white whipped cream, scattered generously with small, dark chocolate chips. The edges of each layer are clean and well-defined, showing clear separation between textures.

Ingredients

16.5 ounces refrigerated prepared chocolate chip cookie dough
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 ounces Cool Whip, thawed and divided
6.8 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix (2 small boxes)
3 cups milk
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for topping)
Chocolate syrup (for topping, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center appears set.
Step 3: Remove the cookie layer from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
Step 4: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Fold in 4 ounces of the Cool Whip until fully combined.
Step 5: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie layer.
Step 6: In a medium bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken, then spread it evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Step 7: Spread the remaining Cool Whip evenly over the pudding layer. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top.
Step 8: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours to set. Before serving, cut into 15 squares and drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the cream cheese layer.
Use homemade chocolate chip cookie dough if you prefer a fresher, more customizable base.
Try using vanilla pudding instead of chocolate for a lighter flavor contrast.
To make it easier to slice, chill the dessert overnight so it firms up well.

Storage

Store leftover Chocolate Chip Cookie Lasagna covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it chilled until ready to serve, as the layers may soften at room temperature. To serve, allow it to sit out for 10 minutes or warm slightly for a softer texture.

FAQs

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Yes, it’s best to prepare this dessert at least 4 hours in advance to allow the layers to set properly. Making it the day before serving will give the best texture and flavor.

Can I freeze Chocolate Chip Cookie Lasagna?

You can freeze it, but the texture of the whipped topping may change upon thawing. If freezing, wrap tightly and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
