Layers of creamy peanut butter, velvety chocolate, and crunchy cookie crumble come together in this decadent no-bake dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • 2 boxes (3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/4 cup crushed peanut butter cups (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the crushed cookies and melted butter in a mixing bowl until well blended. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of your 9×13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Refrigerate while you prepare the layers.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped topping gently until fully incorporated. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  3. Whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk in a large bowl for about 2 minutes, or until the pudding thickens. Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the peanut butter layer.
  4. Spread the remaining whipped topping over the chocolate layer, ensuring it’s smooth and even. Sprinkle crushed peanut butter cups on top for extra flavor and texture, if desired.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to set.
  6. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
