CHOCOLATE LASAGNA

Chocolate Lasagna with layers of chocolate cookie crust, cream cheese, chocolate ganache, pudding, and whipped cream. It’s so clean to make and might be a success every time. It’s like biting right into a soft, fluffy chocolate cloud on pinnacle of a cookie crust.

At some stage in the nice and cozy summer months, no person wants to start up an oven, proper? right! This dessert isn't any-bake consisting of the chocolate cookie crust. The crust corporations up from the butter whilst it’s sitting within the fridge. speak about the perfect summer dessert!

This chocolate lasagna has a little extra chocolate delivered to it. I truely desired to head overboard with making each layer chocolate, but quickly found out that the layers in all likelihood wouldn’t be considerable which sort of makes the “lasagna” element void.

I’m the type of girl that likes to upload a touch extra cheese to an already cheesy dish, a touch extra sugar to a sweetened iced tea, and chocolate to a chocolaty dessert. i will’t help myself. I’m a bit extra.
