Chocolate Lasagna
This chocolate lasagna is pretty much the best dessert ever! What’s not to love about having a layered dessert loaded with an oreo crust, cheesecake filling, chocolate pudding, whipped topping, and even more crushed oreos on top?! I was inspired to make this after making a lemon lush a few weeks ago and it being a huge hit. Not only did I think it was delicious but you guys did too! I think this would be a great dessert to make for all of the summer holidays and potlucks coming up because it makes a pretty large batch with about 12 servings and it can be made ahead of time so that you don’t have to be spending time in the kitchen right before your event.
