Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix crushed Oreos and melted butter until it resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish firmly and evenly.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool to room temperature.

No-bake option: Skip baking and refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes to set!

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Layer

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Fold in 1 tub of whipped topping and mix until fluffy.
Spread the cheesecake layer evenly over the cooled Oreo crust.

Step 3: Prepare the Mint Pudding Layer

In another bowl, whisk together pudding mix and cold milk until smooth.
Stir in mint extract and a few drops of green gel food coloring.
Fold in the remaining whipped topping, then spread over the cheesecake layer.

Step 4: Chill & Garnish

Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours (overnight is best!).
Before serving, top with whipped topping, Oreo crumbs, cherries, and sprinkles.
Slice and enjoy your festive Shamrock Lasagna!

Notes

Make it ahead: This dessert tastes even better the next day as flavors meld.
Chill completely: Don’t rush the chilling time—it helps the layers set!
Use quality food coloring: Gel food coloring gives a vibrant green without watering down the mixture.
For extra minty flavor: Swap vanilla pudding for chocolate or use Mint Oreos.
