Chocolate Lasagna Cupcakes

A big shout out to Center Cut Cook for this scrumptious dessert. Apparently, they used to serve a chocolate lasagna like this at the Olive Garden that was out of this world. Now you can make it at home….as cute little cupcakes!

Chocolate Lasagna Cupcakes-Ingredients

1 package Oreos (36 cookies)

6 Tablespoons melted  butter

8 ounces softened cream cheese

1/4 cup sugar

2 Tablespoons milk

12 ounces Cool Whip, divided

2 – 3.9 ounce packages Chocolate Instant Pudding

3 1/4 cups cold milk

1 and 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

Pulse oreos in the food processor until crumbs. Stir with the butter and press into your cupcake liners in a tin. I made 12 regular sized cupcakes and they were nice and big!!! Chill a few minutes. Meanwhile, in a mixer, beat cream cheese fluffy. Add the 2 T. milk & sugar. Add 1 and 1/4 cups Cool Whip. Spread this mixture over the chilled crusts. In another bowl, whisk chocolate puddings with the  3 and 1/4 cups milk until it thickens. Spread this over the cream cheese layers in each cupcake. Chill 5 mins. Spread the rest of the Cool Whip on the top and sprinkle with the mini chocolate chips. Chill several hours or over night before digging in!
