It is called a lasagna because it is composed of multiple layers, like a traditional lasagna. It has nothing to do with pasta of any kind (thank goodness!) and is sweet, not savory.
You can use a homemade pudding if you’d like! it does take a bit more time, but the result will be worth it! Skip step 3 if you use homemade pudding.
You can make chocolate curls with milk, semisweet, or white chocolate bars. Using a vegetable peeler, hold the bar firmly in one hand and drag the peeler down the bar. The size of the curl will depend on if you are peeling along the side or the front of the bar, and what size peeler you are using.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
