CHOCOLATE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees with the rack in the upper third of the oven.
• Combine the flour, cocoa, and salt in a bowl and make a well in the center.
• Add the eggs and oil in the center of the well and mix with a fork to form a thick dough.
• Knead the dough for 15 minutes until it is smooth and shiny, adding more flour if necessary to keep the dough from sticking.
• Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for half an hour.
• Roll the pasta out by hand or with a machine and cut into eight 4 1/2 x 11 inch strips.
• Cook two strips at a time in boiling salted water.
• Cook just 20 seconds after the water returns to a boil.
• Plunge the noodles into cold water to stop the cooking.
• When cooled, place on towels in a single layer to drain.
• Combine all filling ingredients (except chocolate) and mix until smooth.
• To assemble: generously butter an 8 x 11 x 2 inch pan.
• Alternate layers of noodles, cheese filling, and chocolate, ending with a cheese layer.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is lightly colored.
• Let the lasagna stand for 10 minutes to solidify, then serve warm.

CHOCOLATE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Begin by crushing 36 Oreo cookies. I used my food processor for this, but you could also place them in a large ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. When the Oreos have turned into fine crumbs, you are done.
• Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a large bowl. Stir in 6 tablespoons melted butter and use a fork to incorporate the butter into the cookie crumbs. When the butter is distributed, transfer the mixture to a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator while you work on the additional layers.
• Mix the cream cheese with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add in 2 Tablespoons of milk, and sugar, and mix well. Stir in 1 and 1/4 cups Cool Whip. Spread this mixture over the crust.
• In a bowl, combine chocolate instant pudding with 3 and 1/4 cups cold milk. Whisk for several minutes until the pudding starts to thicken. Use a spatula to spread the mixture over the previous cream cheese layer. Allow the dessert to rest for about 5 minutes so that the pudding can firm up further.
• Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips evenly over the top. Place in the freezer for 1 hour, or the refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk white chocolate pudding and skim milk together in a bowl until thickened and smooth; fold in 1 tub whipped topping.
• Line a 9x13-inch casserole dish with 1 layer of graham crackers. Spread 1/2 the pudding mixture over graham cracker layer. Repeat layering with graham crackers and remaining pudding mixture, ending with a layer of graham crackers. Spread 1 tub whipped topping over top graham cracker layer; sprinkle with candy bar pieces. Chill in refrigerator until set, 2 to 4 hours.

CHOCOLATE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Line 2 rectangular pans, 13x9x2 inches, with aluminum foil, leaving 1 inch of foil overhanging at 2 opposite sides of pan.
• Melt chocolate chips and the 2 T. shortening in a 1 quart saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted.
• Divide the melted chocolate evenly between the 2 pans and spread into thin, even layers.
• Freeze for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the foil sheets of chocolate from the pan and return to the freezer.
• Prepare pans with foil again.
• Melt the white baking chips with the 2 T. shortening over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted.
• Divide melted mixture evenly between the 2 pans and freeze for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the foil sheets from pan and return to freezer.
• Line 1 rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches, with plastic wrap and set aside.
• Beat half of the ice cream with half of the peanut butter in a large bowl on medium speed until just mixed.
• Repeat with remaining ice cream and peanut butter in second bowl.
• Remove all chocolate layers from freezer and carefully peel foil from layers as it is used.
• Place 1 white chocolate layer in bottom of plastic wrap lined pan.
• Carefully spread on 1/3 of the ice cream mixture.
• Add 1 semisweet layer, spread with 1/3 of the ice cream mixture.
• Repeat, ending up with the last layer being the semisweet chocolate layer.
• Cover and freeze for at least 12 hours.
• Place pan upside down on a cookie sheet.
• Place hot towels on bottom of pan.
• When just warm you should be able to remove pan and plastic wrap.
• At this point you can top with whipping cream, mint leaves and cocoa powder to dust, or cut into 5 rows by 3 rows, and garnish with a dolop of whipped cream, mint leaves or chocolate leaves and a dusting of cocoa powder.

CHOCOLATE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Make the cake in a 13x9-inch baking pan following instructions on the box of cake mix (Preheat oven to 350 degrees; mix cake mix, water, oil, and eggs together in a large bowl; pour batter into pan greased generously with shortening.).
• Allow the cake to cool completely.
• When cake is cool, make buttercream frosting by first whipping the soft butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed.
• Add two cups of the powdered sugar, mix well, then add remaining powdered sugar.
• Add 1/4 cup of whole milk and vanilla, then mix on high speed for 2 minutes or until frosting is smooth and creamy.
• Turn cake out of the pan onto wax paper.
• Using both hands, carefully flip the cake over, so that it's right-side-up, onto another strip of wax paper.
• Now you're going to cut through the cake twice, creating three layers.
• We'll start at the bottom slice.
• First slide the cake over to the edge of your kitchen counter.
• This way you can drop your hand with the knife down below the counter at the edge to get a nice, straight cut through the cake.
• Using a long bread knife or other long serrated knife, cut through the bottom third of the cake.
• Spin the cake and wax paper so that you can cut through all sides (your knife probably won't get all the way through to the other side).
• When the cake is sliced, carefully flip the top section over onto the other sheet of wax paper.
• Frost the bottom layer of cake with approximately 1/3 of the buttercream frosting.
• Break the chilled semi-sweet chocolate into little bits that are a tad smaller than chocolate chips.
• A good way to do this is to put the chilled chocolate into a large zip-top bag, then use the handle of a butter knife to smash the unsuspecting chocolate into pieces.
• Sprinkle about 1/3 of the chocolate bits over the frosting on the bottom layer.
• Turn the top section back over onto the bottom layer.
• Again, slice through the top section creating the final two layers.
• Carefully flip the top over onto the wax paper, and frost the new layer as you did with the first layer, adding chocolate bits as well.
• You may, at this point, wish to slice the top into thirds across the width of the cake.
• This makes flipping over the top layer much easier.
• It's also how you're going to slice the cake later, so you'll never see the cuts.
• Any cracks or breaks are no big deal since you'll just cover up the goofs with frosting.
• Carefully reassemble the top section on the rest of the cake.
• If you have a large bulge in the center of the cake, you may wish to slice that off so that the cake is flatter on top.
• Throw that slice away.
• Frost the top of the cake with the remaining frosting, then sprinkle on the remaining chocolate bits.
• The cake is served as triangular slices.
• So, slice it up by first cutting through the middle of the cake, lengthwise.
• Next cut across the cake through the middle (widthwise) twice.
• Now you have six slices that just need to be cut from corner to corner one time each, creating 12 triangular slices.
• Chill any cake you don't eat that day.
