For me, Valentine’s Day brings to mind long-stemmed red roses and chocolate. LOTS of chocolate. One year, my husband ordered these amazing chocolate covered strawberries for me.
They were HUGE and oh-so-good! I wanted to recreate those flavors with a special dessert for our Valentine’s dinner at home. I took a popular recipe for chocolate lasagna, changed it up a bit and was rewarded with this deliciously sinful dessert!
There are so many different recipes for Chocolate Lasagna floating around Pinterest and other sites, and sadly, most of them are using the same photo. I feel bad for the original blogger who has had her photo and/or content stolen! I think this is the original source from Center Cut Cook, but I honestly couldn’t tell you for sure!
I took her recipe, made it smaller (because, honestly, we DON’T need that much goodness hanging around the house tempting me to eat it in one sitting) and added strawberries for that special touch of Valentine’s Day flavor.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Lasagna
Ingredients
- 18 OREO cookies crushed
- 3 Tbsp butter melted
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp cold milk
- 8 ounces Cool Whip divided
- 1/2-3/4 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 pkg (3.9oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 2/3 cups milk
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- 18 OREO cookiesUsing a Food Processor, crush OREOs into a fine powder. You can do this in a Zip-loc bag and squish away, but really, it's SO much faster and easier in a processor!
- 3 Tbsp butterPut the crumbs in a bowl and pour the melted butter over them. Mix well with a fork and press into the bottom of an 8" or 9" square baking dish. Place dish in the refrigerator to set while you make the filling layers.
- 4 ounces cream cheese, 2 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp cold milk, 8 ounces Cool WhipMix the cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add sugar and milk and mix well. Fold in half of the Cool Whip.
- Spread cream cheese layer over OREO crust.
- 1/2-3/4 cup sliced strawberriesPlace strawberries on top of the cream cheese layer.
- 1 pkg (3.9oz) instant chocolate pudding mix, 1 2/3 cups milkIn a bowl, combine pudding mix and milk. Use a whisk to stir out any lumps and allow to set (it only takes 2-3 minutes) a bit before pouring over the strawberries. You will have just enough to cover them completely in a chocolate layer. Yum.
- 8 ounces Cool WhipWait about 5 minutes to allow the pudding to completely set, and then cover with the remaining Cool Whip.
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chipsSprinkle chocolate chips over the top and refrigerate two hours or freeze for 30 minutes until ready to serve.

I am usually kind of anti-processed foods, but I think I am going to have to make this for Valentine’s. My daughter LOVES strawberry and everything Valentine’s Day. She will be gaga for it.

Looks like an amazing dish. I’m just not sure I would survive with Oreos in the house 😉

It’s not exactly healthy… 🙂 I had to fight off my husband and kids to get the photo! I’m looking forward to making it for our Valentine’s dinner soon 🙂
Christina @ Juggling Real Food and Real Life says
What a truly decadent treat. Perfect for Valentine’s Day. I love that you added strawberries.
Nicole Burkholder says
I had to laugh when I saw that’s what was in the link party this week. Oops. Not exactly healthy, real food. 🙂 BUT, it is for a special occasion, and I added fruit. 😉

I saw the same photo popping up all over my Facebook feed and Pinterest a while ago and I had me intrigued. My husband pointed it out and said, “I want THAT.” 🙂 So I was happy to oblige.
