Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix crushed Oreo cookies and melted oleo, then press into the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan.

- Spread hot fudge sauce over the ice cream layer.
- Cover and freeze until firm.
- Before serving, spread Cool Whip on top and sprinkle with nuts.
- Freeze until ready to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a layer of crushed nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce on top of the hot fudge. If you don’t have oleo, unsalted butter can be used as a substitute. To make the assembly easier, allow the vanilla ice cream to soften slightly before slicing. Ensure that the dessert is completely frozen before serving for the best texture.
Serving Suggestions
This dessert is perfect for gatherings and pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream on the side. You can also serve it with a drizzle of additional hot fudge or whipped cream for added indulgence. For a fun twist, consider serving it alongside a refreshing Sweet Onion Salad to balance the richness of the lasagna.
Storage & Reheating
Oreo Lasagna can be stored in the freezer for up to two weeks. Make sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. When ready to enjoy, remove from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will make serving easier without melting the layers.
