Directions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and the melted butter. Mix until well blended. This will create a sandy, yet cohesive mixture. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish to form the crust.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and chocolate pudding mix. Let it sit for a few minutes, allowing it to thicken to a tremendous consistency.
-
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Take a moment to taste the tremendous sweetness before you fold in one cup of whipped topping. Once well mixed, spread this luscious cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust, creating a smooth layer.
-
Carefully pour the chocolate pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer. With a spatula, spread it evenly to ensure every bite is loaded with chocolate goodness.
-
Next, spread a generous layer of whipped topping over the pudding layer, making the dessert look inviting and fluffy.
-
If desired, garnish the entire dessert with chocolate shavings, adding a decorative touch that enhances its allure.
-
Cover the dish and refrigerate the Hot Chocolate Lasagna for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. This resting period allows all the layers to set and meld together beautifully.
