Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Cookie Layer:

1 ¾ cups chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cream Cheese Layer:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip)

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Hot Chocolate Pudding Layer:

2 cups milk

1 (3.9 oz) box of instant hot chocolate pudding mix

1 tsp vanilla extract

For Topping:

1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip)

Mini marshmallows

Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish

Chocolate sauce (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chocolate Cookie Layer:

    In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter. Mix until combined and resembling wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to create an even layer. Set aside.

      Make the Cream Cheese Layer:

        In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Then, fold in 1 cup of whipped topping and the vanilla extract until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the chocolate cookie layer in the baking dish.

          Prepare the Hot Chocolate Pudding Layer:

            In another mixing bowl, combine the milk, hot chocolate pudding mix, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until thickened. Pour the pudding over the cream cheese layer and spread it evenly.

              Finish with the Whipped Topping:

                Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer evenly. Make it as smooth or as textured as you like.

                  Add the Toppings:

                    Garnish the top with mini marshmallows, chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for that extra touch. Drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired.

                      Chill and Serve:

                        Cover the lasagna with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set properly.

                          Slice and Enjoy:

                            Once chilled, cut into squares and serve cold. Enjoy the rich blend of flavors reminiscent of hot chocolate!
