Ingredients in No-Bake Christmas Oreo Lasagna
This dessert is made with just a handful of ingredients that you probably already have at home. Let’s break it down:
Oreos
The foundation of this dessert! Crushed Oreos create a delicious base and add that signature chocolate crunch to each bite. You can use regular or holiday-themed Oreos for extra festive flair.
Cream Cheese
Cream cheese gives this dessert its rich and velvety texture. When mixed with powdered sugar, it becomes a sweet, creamy layer that complements the crunchy Oreos perfectly.
Whipped Topping
Whipped topping brings lightness and fluffiness to the dessert. It helps balance out the richness of the cream cheese and creates that perfect, airy finish.
Instant Pudding Mix
Vanilla instant pudding mix is the secret to that creamy, thick layer that makes this lasagna feel indulgent without being overwhelming.
Milk
You’ll need some milk to mix the instant pudding and make the creamy layers come together.
Powdered Sugar
A little powdered sugar adds sweetness and helps give the cream cheese filling the right consistency. It balances out the tanginess of the cream cheese.
Holiday Sprinkles (Optional)
For the finishing touch, a sprinkle of red and green festive sprinkles adds that perfect holiday vibe. You can also top with crushed candy canes or mini chocolate chips if you prefer!

Instructions
Let’s get to it—here’s how to create this decadent No-Bake Christmas Oreo Lasagna in a few simple steps:
Prepare Your Base Layer
Start by crushing your Oreos into small crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin to crush them, or you can pulse them in a food processor. Once crushed, press them into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form the crust. Set aside.
Make the Cream Cheese Layer
In a medium-sized bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Once it’s well combined, fold in half of the whipped topping. Spread this mixture evenly over the Oreo crust.
Prepare the Pudding Layer
In another bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk. Once it’s thickened, spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer.
Add the Final Layer of Whipped Topping
Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it out evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the top so it looks nice and neat.
Chill to Set
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the flavors to meld and the layers to firm up.
Garnish and Serve
Before serving, sprinkle the top with festive holiday sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or crushed candy canes. Slice, serve, and enjoy the festive magic!
