Ingredients

This recipe creates a generous 9×13-inch pan of lasagna.

For the Crust:

  • 36 Mint Chocolate Creme Oreo cookies (or regular chocolate Oreos), crushed into fine crumbs

  • 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted

For the Mint Cream Layer:

  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)

  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (adjust to taste)

  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, cold

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1-2 drops green food coloring (optional, for color)

For the Chocolate Layer:

  • 2 cups Hot Fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)

For the Whipped Topping & Garnish:

  • 2 cups heavy cream, cold

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup crushed Mint Chocolate Creme Oreo cookies, for topping

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or chocolate curls (optional)

  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preparing the Crust:

  1. Crush Cookies: Place the 36 Mint Chocolate Creme Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

  2. Combine and Press: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Mix with a fork until all the crumbs are evenly moistened.

  3. Form Crust: Pour the crumb mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the dish using the back of a measuring cup or your fingers.

  4. Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator or freezer while you prepare the next layer to help it set.

Preparing the Mint Cream Layer:

  1. Cream Butter and Cheese: In a large bowl using a hand mixer (or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), beat the softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup softened butter together on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

  2. Add Sweeteners and Flavor: Add the 1/2 cup powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and salt. Mix on low speed until combined, then increase to medium-high and beat for 1-2 minutes until fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

  3. Whip Cream: In a separate, chilled bowl, beat the 1/2 cup cold heavy cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with a whisk attachment on high speed until stiff peaks form.

  4. Fold: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mint cream cheese mixture in two additions, using a spatula. Do not stir or overmix, or you will deflate the air.

  5. Add Color: If desired, stir in 1-2 drops of green food coloring until a pale mint green is achieved.

  6. Layer: Spread the mint cream mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.

Preparing the Chocolate Layer:

  1. Layer Fudge: Warm the hot fudge sauce slightly so it’s pourable but not hot (about 20-30 seconds in the microwave). Pour or spoon the fudge over the mint cream layer and spread gently with an offset spatula to create an even layer.

  2. Chill Again: Return the pan to the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the fudge layer to set slightly before adding the final topping.

Preparing the Whipped Topping & Garnish:

  1. Whip Cream: In a clean, chilled bowl, beat the 2 cups cold heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

  2. Top: Spread the whipped cream evenly over the chilled fudge layer.

  3. Garnish: Sprinkle the 1/2 cup crushed Mint Chocolate Creme Oreos and optional mini chocolate chips or curls over the top. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight, to let all the layers meld and set completely.

  4. Serve: Just before serving, garnish individual slices with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
