Shamrock Shake Dessert Lasagna
Ingredients
For the Oreo Crust:
36 Oreo cookies, crushed
6 tablespoons melted butter
For the Cream Cheese Layer:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups whipped topping (Cool Whip)
For the Mint Pudding Layer:
1 (3.4-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon mint extract
Green food coloring (a few drops, as needed)
For Topping:
1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip)
Chocolate chips (for garnish)
Green sprinkles (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1: Make the Oreo Crust
Crush 36 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form the crust.
Refrigerate the crust while preparing the next layers.
Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in 2 cups of whipped topping until fully combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
Step 3: Make the Mint Pudding Layer
In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, mint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring until thick and smooth.
Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Step 4: Add the Final Layer
Spread 1 cup of whipped topping over the pudding layer, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle with chocolate chips and green sprinkles for a festive touch.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).
Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Serving and Storage Tips
How to Serve:
Serve cold for the best flavor and texture.
Top each slice with extra whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for added indulgence.
Pair with a Shamrock Shake or hot coffee for the ultimate treat!
How to Store:
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Avoid freezing, as the texture of the pudding and whipped topping may change when thawed.
Helpful Notes
For a Stronger Mint Flavor: Increase the mint extract to 3/4 teaspoon.
Make it Even More Chocolatey: Use mint-flavored Oreos instead of regular Oreos for the crust.
Use Different Pudding Flavors: Try using white chocolate pudding instead of vanilla for a richer taste.
Add Extra Layers: Add a layer of crushed Andes mints or chocolate ganache between the pudding and whipped topping for a more decadent dessert.
No Cool Whip? You can substitute homemade whipped cream by whipping 2 cups of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
