Description
Indulge in this unique dessert that combines layers of lasagna noodles with rich chocolate pudding, creamy ricotta, and a delightful mix of caramel and nuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 3 cups chocolate pudding (prepared)
- 2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of chocolate pudding on the bottom.
- Place 4 lasagna noodles over the pudding layer. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of chocolate pudding.
- Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the pudding, then sprinkle with half of the chopped pecans and half of the mini chocolate chips.
- Repeat the layers: add 4 more lasagna noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, another layer of chocolate pudding, the remaining caramel sauce, pecans, and chocolate chips.
- Top with the last 4 lasagna noodles and spread the whipped topping evenly over the top.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, drizzle additional caramel sauce and sprinkle extra pecans on top if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate pudding instead of regular chocolate pudding.
- You can substitute the pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty flavor.
