This mint chocolate chip no-bake recipe is one of the easiest ways to make a dessert that everyone will love. Sometimes called dessert lasagnas, lush desserts, or no bake dream desserts, these moussey layered treats are tried-and-true crowd pleasers.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Easy and no-bake with pudding mix.
- Mint Chip flavor is one of our favorites!
- You can make this up to two days ahead – it’s even better as it sits.
Ingredients in Mint Chip Lush
- Oreo cookies: Use any kind of Oreos for this – we love using regular Oreos or Double Stuf, or use Mint Oreos!
- Cream cheese – regular or low-fat can be used
- Sugar – granulated sugar to sweeten the filling
- Peppermint extract – don’t buy mint extract, get peppermint. It tastes so much better!
- Whipped topping – The body of this uses Cool Whip. You can use regular, light, or fat-free – or even sugar free.
- Pudding Mix – make sure it’s INSTANT chocolate pudding
How to Make Mint Chip Lasagna
- Make the crust: In a large ziplock bag, fill it with your Oreo cookies and seal it off, leaving one inch of the closure unzipped. Gently crush the Oreo cookies. Pour the melted butter into the Ziploc bag and mix it into the crushed cookies. Once well mixed, pour the mixture into a 9×9” baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until it becomes smooth. Add the sugar, vanilla, and ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract. Feel free to add more, but I would avoid exceeding ½ teaspoon. Using about half of the container, add the whipped topping, chocolate chips, and green food coloring. Combine thoroughly and spread it over the crust.
- Mix the pudding: Whisk the milk and pudding mix together for about thirty seconds. Allow the mixture to sit until the pudding has thickened. Once it’s reached the desired consistency, spread it over the previous layer.
- Top it off: Spread the whipped topping over the pudding layer and sprinkle with chocolate chips or Oreo cookies. Cover it up and chill for at least two hours before digging in!
Expert Tips
- For extra minty flavor, swap out the classic Oreos for their mint flavor!
- Using a rolling pin will make it a lot easier to crush the Oreos when making the crust. Just don’t go too crazy with it – it may be fun to wield a rolling pin, but you want to keep things gentle.

Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 20 Oreo cookies
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter , melted
- 8 ounces (226g) cream cheese , softened
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 8 ounce container whipped topping
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 approx. 3.4 ounce box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 ¼ cups nonfat milk
- 5-7 drops green food coloring
- Additional mini chocolate chips or crushed cookies topping
Instructions
- Place cookies in a large resealable bag. Seal all but one inch of the bag and gently crush the cookies using a rolling pin. Pour melted butter into the bag and mix gently with your hands. Pour the crushed cookies into a 9×9” baking dish. Spread evenly over the bottom. (The crust will not completely join together as a pie crust will.)
- Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with a hand mixer until smooth. Mix in sugar, vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract. Add more peppermint extract, up to 1/2 teaspoon total, as desired for your personal taste. Fold in 1/2 the container (about 1 1/2 cups) whipped topping. Fold in chocolate chips. Add green food coloring and gently stir to fold in the color. Spread the mint layer over the cookie layer.
- Mix the pudding mix with the milk. Whisk for 30 seconds. Let sit for a few minutes until the pudding thickens, then spread over mint layer.
- Top with the remaining whipped topping and sprinkle with additional chocolate chips or crushed cookies. Cover and chill at least 2 hours before serving. Eat within 3 days.

I’m definitely obsessed with mint, too! It’s such a refreshing flavor! This no bake dessert looks amazing! This totally counts for breakfast, right? Pinned!
Refreshing, exactly. It feels like you’re eating healthy. Let’s just go with that. 🙂
I see chocolate mint is on our brains!!! I love these lush desserts, especially once summer comes. PINNED 🙂
Thanks for the pin Aimee!
Jordan has it right. Mint desserts always should be green!
I’m not a big pudding person either, but this has me thinking differently. I want it!
Oh, and your nails are awesome. I play guitar and can’t have pretty nails, but I’m so jealous of people who do!
I have the worst nails. These are jamberry. Literally the only things that last on my nails (those and the drugstore kind).
I’ve never heard of lush dessert, but now that I have, I want to try it. I adore all of your mint recipes especially since you gear them toward your daughter. It’s very sweet (pun intended). All of my chocolate and mint cravings will be satisfied with this dessert. 🙂
My mom’s signature picnic, potluck, etc dish is a lush. Never a mint one though! This looks incredible and great minds again because just yesterday I photographed a pudding mix/cool whip number. I don’t do too many anymore but I couldn’t resist 🙂 Nor could I resist this! Pinned of course!
Right? Every single time I’m all “here we go” but I just keep doing it. LOL! Thanks for pinning!
