Preparation
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, ensuring they're al dente. Drain and set aside once done.
Mix the ricotta cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Layer the first row of cooked noodles in a baking dish, covering the bottom completely.
Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, smoothing it out evenly.
Add a layer of chocolate pudding on top, distributing it evenly.
Top with a layer of whipped cream, spreading it to the edges of the dish.
Drizzle caramel sauce over the whipped cream and sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
Repeat the layering process—noodles, ricotta, chocolate pudding, whipped cream, caramel, and pecans—until all ingredients are used, finishing with whipped cream.
Sprinkle chocolate chips and extra pecans on top to elevate the dessert's appeal.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Drizzle extra caramel sauce over individual servings for added sweetness.
