Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (3.4 oz / 96 g) Chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups Milk
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 8 oz Whipped topping (thawed)
- 1.5 cups Chocolate sandwich cookies (crushed)
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Peanuts (optional, chopped)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until the mixture thickens. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture and continue to blend until light and creamy.
Fold in half of the whipped topping (4 oz) into the peanut butter mixture to create a fluffier, mousse-like consistency. Set aside.
Begin assembling the parfaits in individual serving glasses. Start with a layer of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (about 2 tablespoons per glass).
Add a layer of chocolate pudding (about 2–3 tablespoons) on top of the cookie crumbs.
Next, add a layer of the peanut butter mixture (about 2 tablespoons). Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, ending with a layer of whipped topping on top.
Garnish the parfaits with mini chocolate chips, additional cookie crumbs, and chopped peanuts if desired.
Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
