Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 package chocolate sandwich cookies (about 36), crushed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the cream layer:

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping or whipped cream

For the raspberry layer:

  • 1 can (21 oz) raspberry pie filling
    (or 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries gently mashed with 2 tbsp sugar)

For the chocolate layer:

  • 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

For topping:

  • Whipped topping
  • Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips
  • Fresh raspberries (optional)

Steps

  1. Make the crust. Mix crushed cookies with melted butter until evenly combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 dish. Chill for 10 minutes so it sets.
  2. Prepare the cream layer. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth, then gently fold in whipped topping. Spread evenly over the chilled crust.
  3. Add the raspberry layer. Spoon the raspberry filling over the cream layer and gently spread. Don’t worry if it looks rustic that’s part of the charm.
  4. Mix the pudding. Whisk chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  5. Layer the pudding. Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the raspberry layer.
  6. Top and chill. Finish with a generous layer of whipped topping. Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or overnight for best slicing.
  7. Garnish before serving. Add chocolate shavings, chips, or fresh raspberries for a pretty finish.

Chef’s Tips

  • Press the crust firmly: This helps the layers stay neat when slicing.
  • Chill between layers if needed: A quick chill makes spreading easier.
  • Use softened cream cheese: It keeps the cream layer silky and lump-free.

Variations

  • White chocolate raspberry lasagna: Use white chocolate pudding instead of chocolate.
  • Extra chocolate: Add a thin layer of chocolate ganache over the crust before the cream layer.
  • Gluten-free: Use gluten-free chocolate cookies for the crust.
