In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Beat with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated. Set aside.
Prepare the chocolate pudding by whisking the instant pudding mix with the milk in accordance with the package instructions until thickened. Let it sit for a few minutes to set.
To assemble the parfaits, start by adding a layer of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies to the bottom of each serving glass or jar.
Add a layer of the peanut butter mousse over the cookie crumbs using a spoon or piping bag for neat layers.
Next, spoon a layer of chocolate pudding over the peanut butter mousse.
Repeat the layers (cookie crumbs, peanut butter mousse, and chocolate pudding) until the glasses are filled, finishing with a chocolate pudding layer.
Top each parfait with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or sprinkles, if desired.
Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 30 minutes to chill before serving.
