No-Bake Chocolate Lasagna: 5-Ingredient Dessert

  • Author: Melano
  • Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

A rich, layered no-bake dessert featuring graham crackers, cream cheese, whipped topping, and chocolate pudding. It requires zero baking and is perfect for make-ahead entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sleeve (about 24 squares) honey graham crackers
  • 8 oz (225g) full-fat brick-style cream cheese, softened
  • 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix (dry)
  • 1 cup (240ml) chocolate fudge syrup
  • 16 oz (450g) whipped topping, thawed (for filling)
  • 16 oz (450g) whipped topping, thawed (for topping)
  • Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Break graham crackers into pieces to form a single, solid layer at the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish. Press down firmly.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the dry instant chocolate pudding mix and chocolate syrup. Mix on low until combined, then medium for 2 minutes until thickened.
  3. Gently fold in 16 oz of thawed whipped topping using a spatula until fully incorporated and fluffy.
  4. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker base.
  5. Sprinkle another sleeve of crushed graham crackers over the cream layer to create a barrier.
  6. Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the second cracker layer.
  7. Top with the remaining 16 oz of whipped topping.
  8. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set.
  9. Slice with a pizza cutter and garnish with chocolate shavings or nuts before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Do not microwave whipped topping to thaw; let it thaw in the fridge. The dessert must chill for at least 4 hours to set properly. Do not freeze as the texture of the whipped topping may become grainy.
