Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 12 oz. full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 1/2 cups stabilized whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Cookie Crust: In a medium bowl, combine crushed Oreo cookies with melted unsalted butter. Stir until moistened and press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
- Craft the Cream Cheese Layer: Beat softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Add vanilla extract and fold in stabilized whipped topping. Spread evenly over the chilled crust and return to the refrigerator.
- Mix the Decadent Chocolate Pudding Layer: Combine instant chocolate pudding mix with cold milk in a large bowl. Beat for about 2 minutes until thickened. Spread evenly over the cream cheese layer and return to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Whip Up the Refreshing Peppermint Cream: Combine thawed whipped topping with peppermint extract and fold gently. Spread over the chocolate pudding layer.
- Assemble and Chill the Lasagna: Sprinkle crushed candy canes over the top and optionally add chocolate shavings. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Serve and Enjoy: Use a warm knife to cut neat squares and serve immediately. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
