Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 36 Oreos, crushed
- 6 tbsp melted butter
Peanut Butter Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup whipped topping
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 2 packs (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
Topping & Garnish
- 2 cups whipped topping
- ½ cup crushed peanut butter cups
- Drizzle of melted peanut butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Mix the crushed Oreos with melted butter thoroughly and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form an even crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
- Make the Peanut Butter Layer: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and combined. Stir in the creamy peanut butter until well incorporated. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping to lighten the mixture. Spread this peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
- Prepare the Chocolate Pudding Layer: Whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mixes with cold milk according to package instructions until the pudding thickens. Spread this pudding layer evenly over the peanut butter layer. Refrigerate again for 10 minutes to allow it to set.
- Top with Whipped Cream: Spread 2 cups of whipped topping evenly over the chocolate pudding layer, creating a smooth, fluffy topping.
- Garnish & Chill: Sprinkle crushed peanut butter cups evenly over the whipped topping and drizzle melted peanut butter on top for extra flavor and decoration.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate the assembled lasagna for at least 4 hours to fully set before slicing and serving. Enjoy this rich and creamy dessert chilled.
Notes
- For best results, chill the dessert overnight to allow flavors to meld.
- You can substitute regular whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- Use creamy peanut butter for smooth layering; crunchy peanut butter may disrupt the texture.
- This dessert is best served cold and kept refrigerated until ready to serve.
