Chopped Andes mints add the perfect finishing touch to this decadent mint chocolate dessert! Mint chocolate lovers everywhere are going to go crazy for this chocolate lasagna! I’ve taken the classic layered no-bake chocolate lasagna recipe and added a cool layer of sweet, minty, cheesecake-style filling to make this dessert especially delicious. The crust layer of no-bake desserts is always my favorite part, and this one is no exception, made from a buttery mixture of crushed Oreo cookies. Check out my No Bake Oreo Pie, Chocolate Jello Pudding Pie, and No Bake Peanut Butter Pie recipes for even more Oreo cookie crust goodness! This No Bake Mint Chocolate Cheesecake is another creamy no-bake minty dessert to try too. The green color of the filling makes mint chocolate lasagna perfect for Christmas or St. Patrick’s day, but this is truly a dessert that is wonderful for sharing any time of year.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Ingredients Needed for Mint Chocolate Lasagna
The best chocolate lasagna is all about layers! Here’s what you’ll need for each one:
For the Crust: Crushed Oreos and melted unsalted butter make an irresistible no-bake crust. Regular Oreos or mint Oreos will work perfectly here. Mint Layer: This is the cool, green, tasty one! Softened cream cheese, peppermint extract, powdered sugar, whipped topping, and a little bit of heavy whipping cream come together to make a fluffy, decadent mint mousse. Green food coloring, while optional, makes it known that the mint flavor is in there!Chocolate Pudding: The next layer in this dessert is instant chocolate pudding! Be sure to buy instant pudding, not the cook-and-serve type. The Topping: Cool Whip and chopped Andes mints finish your chocolate lasagna perfectly. You might be able to find Andes chips in the baking aisle to make this super simple. Feel free to use mini chocolate chips or shaved chocolate if you don’t have Andes on hand.

How To Make Chocolate Lasagna
Recipe Tips
Choose your Pan: I love using a classic glass baking dish to make this recipe, but you can use any 9×13-inch pan that you like. If you want your chocolate lasagna to be extra thick, you can also make it in a 9 or 10-inch square pan.An offset spatula will be super helpful for spreading out the layers of this dessert evenly. Regular Oreos are Best: While double stuff Oreos are amazing dunked in milk, they have a bit too much frosting in them when it comes to making a crispy cookie crust. Use Peppermint Extract: I prefer peppermint extract over the other variety, called “pure mint” extract. Peppermint has a lighter flavor, whereas the other is more herbal. Use Instant Pudding: When buying pudding mix, look for the box that says “instant”. The type of pudding mix that needs to be cooked won’t work properly here.Try Using Fresh Whipped Cream: You can replace the cool whip in this recipe with fresh whipped cream if you prefer. Whip two cups of heavy cream to get 16oz. Of whipped cream and divide in half for the different layers.
Storing Tips
Store this chocolate lasagna covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the dessert for up to 2 months. Just allow it to thaw overnight in the fridge before serving. If you like this easy no bake recipe, you should check out my recipe for Peanut Butter Lasagna too!
