Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Hot Chocolate Lasagna
  1. In a medium bowl, combine crushed Oreo cookies with melted unsalted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a casserole dish. Chill for about 20 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy whipping cream with hot chocolate powder until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture and spread over the chilled crust.
