How to Make Shamrock Shake Lasagna

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray. In a food processor, crush the Oreos until finely ground, then mix with melted butter until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 8 minutes. Allow the crust to cool completely before adding the next layer.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Layer

In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and one tub of Cool Whip until smooth and creamy. Spread this luscious mixture evenly over the cooled Oreo crust, ensuring a thick and satisfying layer.

Step 3: Prepare the Mint Cheesecake Layer

In another bowl, whisk together the milk and the cheesecake pudding mix until well combined. Gently fold in the remaining Cool Whip and the mint extract, adding green gel food coloring until you reach your desired shade of green. Carefully spread this minty cheesecake layer over the cream cheese layer.

Step 4: Assemble the Layers

Take your time to layer the rich cream cheese and mint cheesecake mixtures, ensuring each layer is beautifully even. If you want, sprinkle some additional crushed Oreos on top for added texture and a pop of flavor.
