Description

Turtle Lasagna Dessert is a decadent layered treat featuring chocolate pudding, caramel, whipped topping, and pecans for a rich and indulgent experience.


Ingredients

  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 container (16 oz) whipped topping, divided
  • 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and mix well. Fold in half of the whipped topping. Spread evenly over the crust.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Spread pudding over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Top with remaining whipped topping and smooth evenly.
  5. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips if using.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for best results.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought caramel sauce or make your own for a richer flavor.
  • Chill overnight for a firmer dessert with well-defined layers.
  • Feel free to use low-fat ingredients to reduce calories.
