Notes

Keep your decadent dessert covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to maintain its layered perfection and fresh taste.
For optimal creaminess and easier slicing, allow your chilled lasagna to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
Garnish each slice with a generous sprinkle of chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips, or even a few fresh berries, to add visual appeal and an extra flavor pop.
A crucial chef's tip: ensure you use *instant* chocolate pudding mix, not cook-and-serve, as this is essential for the no-bake setting and overall success of the dessert.
