Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
- Yes, this dessert is perfect for making ahead. It actually gets better after chilling for several hours as the layers set and flavors meld. You can make it up to 24 hours in advance.
- → Can I use store-bought whipped topping?
- While homemade whipped cream is recommended for best taste, you can substitute with store-bought whipped topping. You'll need about 16 ounces total to replace the homemade version.
- → Why does the cream cheese need to be room temperature?
- Room temperature cream cheese blends smoothly and prevents lumps in your filling. Cold cream cheese can leave chunks in the mixture and won't blend properly with the other ingredients.
- → How should I store this dessert?
- Store the dessert covered in the refrigerator. The layers need to stay cold to maintain their texture and it will keep well for up to 3-4 days.
- → Can I freeze Oreo lasagna?
- While possible, freezing isn't recommended as the texture of the pudding and whipped cream layers can change when thawed. It's best enjoyed fresh from the refrigerator.
