What Kind of Cookies Should I Use?

Chocolate graham crackers or chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos, with the filling removed) work best here. They absorb the moisture from the whipped layers just enough to soften without falling apart, creating that signature “lasagna” texture. Choose a cookie that can hold its structure but still meld with the creamy layers.

Ingredients

• Chocolate sandwich cookies – Act as the crust and layering base, adding structure and chocolate flavor.
• Melted butter – Helps bind the cookie base and gives it a rich texture.
• Cream cheese – Adds a tangy, creamy layer that balances the sweetness.
• Powdered sugar – Sweetens the cream cheese mixture without graininess.
• Heavy whipping cream – Provides volume and lightness in the whipped layers.
• Fresh raspberries – Add fruity brightness and a burst of freshness.
• Chocolate ganache or pudding – Deepens the chocolate flavor and gives the top layer its silky finish.
• Mini chocolate chips or grated chocolate – For garnish and extra chocolate crunch.

How To Make the Raspberry Chocolate Lasagna

Step 1: Make the Chocolate Cookie Base

Crush chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs and combine with melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9×13 dish to form the first layer. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Whipped Cream Cheese Layer

Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a fluffy filling.

Step 3: Assemble the Layers

Spread half the whipped cream cheese mixture over the chilled cookie crust. Arrange a layer of fresh raspberries over the cream, gently pressing them in. Add another layer of cookies, followed by the remaining cream mixture.

Step 4: Top with Chocolate Ganache

Warm chocolate ganache or chocolate pudding slightly and pour it evenly over the top layer. Smooth out with a spatula.

Step 5: Chill and Decorate

Chill the lasagna for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight). Just before serving, garnish with more fresh raspberries and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips or grated chocolate.

Serving This Dessert

This Raspberry Chocolate Lasagna serves 12 people and is ideal for potlucks, parties, or family dinners. Each slice is a showstopper on the plate and doesn’t need any extra toppings—but a drizzle of raspberry sauce or a dollop of whipped cream doesn’t hurt!

How to Store Raspberry Chocolate Lasagna

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The cookie layers soften beautifully over time, so this dessert actually gets better after a day. Avoid freezing if using fresh raspberries, as they can become mushy upon thawing. If needed, freeze before adding fruit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
Absolutely! It’s best when chilled for several hours or overnight, making it perfect for prep-ahead.

Is there a dairy-free alternative?
You can substitute dairy-free cream cheese and coconut whipped topping. Use dairy-free chocolate for the ganache.

What can I use instead of chocolate ganache?
Chocolate pudding works well as a less rich, more kid-friendly topping.

Can I use a different fruit?
