Primary Ingredients:
- 1 package (14.3 ounces / 406 grams) Oreo cookies (regular, not double-stuffed)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 packages (3.9 ounces / 110 grams each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 package (8 ounces / 226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Dairy and Cream Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick / 113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Garnish and Optional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate syrup for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a crumbly foundation by pulverizing Oreo cookies into fine particles. Blend thoroughly with melted butter and firmly press into a 9×13-inch dish. Chill while preparing subsequent layers.
- Whip cream cheese until silky smooth. Incorporate powdered sugar and peanut butter, blending until uniform. Separately, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Delicately fold whipped cream into peanut butter mixture. Spread evenly over chilled crust and refrigerate.
- Quickly whisk chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until thickened, approximately 2 minutes. Allow pudding to set for an additional 2 minutes. Distribute evenly across peanut butter layer.
- Create a luxurious topping by whipping heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until peaks form. Gently spread over pudding layer.
- Enhance visual appeal by sprinkling mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts across the surface. Drizzle chocolate syrup for an indulgent finish.
- Refrigerate for minimum 4 hours or overnight to achieve perfect consistency. Slice into elegant squares and serve thoroughly chilled.
Notes
- Swap Oreo cookies with gluten-free alternatives for those with dietary restrictions, ensuring everyone can enjoy this decadent dessert.
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugars to reduce overall sweetness and create a more balanced flavor profile.
- Opt for low-fat cream cheese and whipped cream to lighten the calorie content while maintaining the rich, creamy texture.
