    Chocolate Lasagna Dessert

    Chocolate Lasagna is an easy no-bake dessert.  It’s a layered dessert that is decadent but light.

    Most people are familiar with Olive Garden Chocolate Lasagna.  This version of the chocolate lasagna dessert is a little different because I used gluten-free chocolate covered graham crackers, instead of Oreos, for the crust.

    How To Make Chocolate Lasagna In A Few Easy Steps

    • Add the crushed Chocolate Honeygrams to a medium-sized bowl.
    • Pour the melted butter over the Chocolate Honeygrams and stir to combine. (photo 2)
    • Press the Chocolate Honeygrams mixture into the bottom of the baking dish and place the baking dish in the refrigerator while you work on the next step. (about 5 minutes) (photo 3)

    • In a medium-sized bowl, whip the cream cheese with your mixer until fluffy.
    • Add the granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of cold milk to the cream cheese and mix until nice and smooth. (photo 4)
    • Stir in 1 cup of the Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture. (photo 5)
    • Spread the cream cheese mixture lightly over the cold crust. Place the baking dish back into the refrigerator while you start the next step. (another 5 minutes) (photo 6)
    • In a separate bowl, mix the chocolate pudding and cold milk. Mix together until it starts to firm up and looks thick.
    • Spread the chocolate pudding over the top of the cream cheese layer. Place the baking dish back in the refrigerator for another 5-10 minutes to allow pudding to set. (photo 7)
    • Once pudding has set, spread the remaining Cool Whip on top of the chocolate pudding layer. Sprinkle the top with the mini chocolate chips, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-4 hours before serving. You can speed up the process by freezing the dessert for 1 hour. Enjoy! (photo 8)
    • Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator.

    Gluten-Free Cookies

    Thank you to Schär for partnering with Mama Knows Gluten Free for this Chocolate Lasagna recipe.

    For the crust, I used Schär Chocolate Honeygrams. Schär has taken their Honeygrams to the next level by dipping them in dark chocolate on one side!

    I absolutely love Schär gluten-free items, and they make some of my family’s favorite gluten-free products! They have everything from certified gluten-free bread, to rolls, pizza crust, cookies, crackers, and snacks.

    I also love that I am able to find my favorite Schär products at my local Walmart. You can also use their store finder to see where you can find their products near you.

    No-Bake Dessert

    This is a super easy no-bake dessert. The chocolate lasagna is made with a few simple ingredients and a few easy steps.

    It’s also a great gluten-free dessert that can be made ahead of time. You can place the dessert in the freezer and have the dessert ready to serve in an hour.

    This is a chocolate lovers dream! If you love the flavor of chocolate cheesecake you will love this chocolate lasagna made with a chocolate graham cracker crust. If you have enjoyed the chocolate lasagna from Olive Garden, I think you are going to love the gluten-free graham cracker crust version!

          Was delicious, made it for Father’s day, it was a big hit. I could not find the Shar chocolate honey dipped graham crackers, so I used a gluten free graham crackers box and crushed them. Turned out great!

      Has anyone tried either whipped cream? I find Cool Whip kind of gross. Thanks!

        Hi Gretchen! I have not tried making this recipe with whipped cream. If you were going to try it with the whipped cream you may want to stabilize the whipped cream with gelatin. If you decided to try it with whipped cream please let me know how it turns out. Thanks!
