Oreo Crust:
Place whole Oreo cookies with their filling in a food processor; grind in fine crumbs. Stir in melted butter; press the mixture into the bottom of the 13x9 inch casserole dish. Refrigerate or freeze to firm up while making the next layer.
Hot Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Layer:
Beat the softened butter and cream cheese together with vanilla and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth.
In another bowl, beat heavy whipping cream and instant milk chocolate powder until stiff peaks form.
Fold half of the hot chocolate whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture; fold in another half, scraping the bottom of the bowl to incorporate everything. Spread over the crust. Place in the refrigerator or freezer to firm.
Pudding Layer:
In a bowl, whisk instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until it starts to thicken. Stir in mini- marshmallows. Spread over hot chocolate mousse layer.
Refrigerate or freeze to set.
When the pudding layer has set, make the whipped cream by beating heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream on top of the pudding layer.
Refrigerate for a few hours or even better, overnight.
Before serving scatter 2 cups of mini marshmallows over whipped cream.
Serve, with 2 c. of mini-marshmallows on top and then drizzle with melted chocolate, Nutella, or a chocolate topping.
Refrigerate leftovers.
12-15 servings.
Tip: Hot Chocolate Lasagna is best the next day so that it firms completely overnight in the refrigerator.
