Shamrock Shake Dessert Lasagna

Shamrock Shake Dessert Lasagna

The Shamrock Shake Dessert Lasagna is a festive, no-bake layered dessert that combines the nostalgic minty flavors of a classic Shamrock Shake with creamy vanilla pudding, whipped topping, and crunchy chocolate sandwich cookie layers. Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any celebratory occasion, this easy-to-make treat delights with its vibrant green color, refreshing peppermint flavor, and irresistible texture contrasts.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes (including chilling)
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Base & Cream Layers

  • 1 package vanilla pudding mix (about 3.4 oz)
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Green food coloring (a few drops, to desired color)
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed

Crunchy Layers

  • 25–30 chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos), finely crushed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture is smooth and thickened. Add a few drops of green food coloring and peppermint extract gradually, stirring well, until the color and mint flavor reach your preference.
  2. Crush the cookies: Using a food processor or placing the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin, finely crush the chocolate sandwich cookies. Reserve about one-third of the cookie crumbs for the final topping layer.
  3. Assemble the layers: In a 9×13 inch dish, begin with an even layer of cookie crumbs. Spread a layer of the minty pudding over the crumbs, followed by a layer of whipped topping. Repeat these layers, ending with the reserved cookie crumbs sprinkled on top as a crunchy finish.
  4. Chill: Cover the assembled dessert tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Slice the dessert into squares and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with extra whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, fresh mint leaves, or mini chocolate chips.

Notes

  • Chill the pudding thoroughly before layering to prevent soggy cookie layers.
  • Crush cookies finely for even layering and better texture contrast.
  • Add peppermint extract gradually to avoid overpowering the dessert’s flavor.
  • Use cold ingredients, including pudding and whipped topping, to help the dessert hold its shape.
  • Prepare the dessert a day ahead for enhanced flavor and structure.
