No-Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Heaven – Easy Summer Dessert Idea Everyone Loves
Ingredients
- 20 Oreo cookies (divided)
- 2 tablespoons melted salted butter
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (divided)
- 16 oz whipped topping (thawed, divided)
- 15 mini peanut butter cups (chopped)
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 package (3.9 oz) chocolate fudge instant pudding mix
Instructions
- Place 16 Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they form coarse crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and pulse again until the mixture resembles damp sand.
- Transfer the crumb mixture into a 9×9-inch dish. Press it firmly and evenly into the base to form the crust. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the next layer.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and 1 cup of powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
- Gently fold in half of the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated. Spread this layer evenly over the chilled crust.
- Sprinkle most of the chopped peanut butter cups over the peanut butter layer, reserving a small portion for garnish later.
- In another bowl, whisk together the cold milk, chocolate pudding mix, and the remaining ½ cup powdered sugar. Mix on low speed for about 2 minutes until it thickens slightly. Let it sit for 2 additional minutes to fully set.
- Fold the remaining whipped topping into the pudding mixture until smooth and fluffy. Carefully spread this chocolate layer over the peanut butter layer.
- Place the remaining Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them into coarse crumbs using a rolling pin.
- Sprinkle the crushed Oreos and reserved peanut butter cups evenly across the top layer.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving to allow the layers to fully set and flavors to meld together
