Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Transfer the crushed cookies to a mixing bowl and stir in the melted butter until well combined.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into a 9x9-inch pan to form the bottom crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peanut butter together using a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.
Spread the peanut butter layer evenly over the prepared cookie crust. Return the pan to the refrigerator to chill.
Prepare the chocolate pudding by whisking the instant pudding mix with cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes).
Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the peanut butter layer.
Optional: Sprinkle the top with chocolate chips and/or crushed peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set fully.
Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy this creamy, dreamy peanut butter and chocolate treat!
