Notes
Hot Chocolate Lasagna is the most delicious next day, when it is completely firm over night in the refrigerator. It can be prepared a couple of days in advance, but I would suggest making the dessert without marshmallows, as marshmallows that were mixed into the pudding became wet after a couple of days in the refrigerator.
