Notes
The pudding will not set with dairy-free or lactose-free milk. Make sure you are using regular milk in this recipe.
Transform this lasagna into a pie by making it in a pie dish. Follow the same steps to layer your pie (a deep dish pie tin is recommended). Since the pie dish will be a little smaller, don’t feel like you have to use all of the mixture for each layer.
Be sure to add the whole Oreos to the food processor, filling included. This will help to keep your crust together.
Chilling this dessert overnight will make it easier to cut and give it a thicker consistency. If you plan to make it a day ahead, add it to the fridge overnight and then top with the crushed cookies just before serving.
