Ingredients

1 package (15.35 oz) Oreo cookies (regular or holiday-themed)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups milk
1 cup mini marshmallows (optional, for extra fluffiness)
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies or mini M&Ms (for garnish)
Red and green sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Extra whole Oreos for topping

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo crust by pulsing the Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely crushed. Combine the crumbs with melted butter and mix until well coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even crust.
Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then spread this layer evenly over the Oreo crust.
Step 3: Whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk in a clean bowl. Let it sit for about 2 minutes until thickened. Spread the pudding layer evenly over the cream cheese layer in the dish.
Step 4: (Optional) Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the pudding layer for added fluffiness and texture.
Step 5: Refrigerate the lasagna for at least 3 hours to allow all layers to set and flavors to meld.
Step 6: Before serving, garnish the top with crushed peppermint candies or mini M&Ms, red and green sprinkles, and whole Oreo cookies. Slice into squares and enjoy your festive dessert!

Tips & Variations

Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing smooth and easy.
Use a food processor to crush Oreos quickly and evenly; a zip-top bag and rolling pin work as alternatives.
For extra texture, add a layer of crushed Oreos between the layers.
Swap the vanilla pudding mix for chocolate pudding to add a rich twist.
Try chocolate Oreos for a deeper flavor or gluten-free Oreos to accommodate dietary needs.
Use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
Add chopped nuts or fresh berries between layers for added crunch or fruitiness.

Storage

Store leftovers covered tightly with plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for 3 to 4 days. When ready to serve, you can enjoy it cold or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes for softer texture; reheating is not recommended.
