Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- Easter-themed sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir in melted butter until well combined. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in thawed whipped topping until just combined. Spread this cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together instant chocolate pudding mix and milk. Let stand for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Pour the thickened chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer.
- Chill the Easter Chocolate Lasagna for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Before serving, sprinkle with chopped nuts and Easter-themed sprinkles, if desired.
Notes
- For a richer crust, use chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs instead of graham cracker crumbs.
- Ensure all dairy products are at room temperature for smoother mixing.
- Adjust chilling time based on your refrigerator’s cooling power.
