At Everyday Dishes we’re choco-holics, so making our chocolate dessert lasagna recipe was a no-brainer! Layers of graham crackers, cream cheese, whipped cream and pudding make a dish that is surprisingly light and fluffy, has beautiful layers and is super easy to make.

You’ll want to prepare this scrumptious treat well ahead of time—it needs a good three hours in the fridge to set before serving. It takes only a few steps to put together, so it’s great for a dinner party or that upcoming potluck.

Our recipe makes generous portions for 12-15 people, but if it’s just you and your family, don’t worry! This ‘lasagna’ will keep 2-3 days in the fridge. Of course, it’s so yummy that you won’t have leftovers that long!

Notes

Chocolate grahams have less sugar than chocolate sandwich cookies for another alternative.
