Description
A delicious and easy-to-make No-Bake Peanut Butter Crunch Lasagna that can be prepared in minutes, perfect for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
- 1 package (16 oz) peanut butter sandwich cookies, such as Nutter Butter
- 6–8 extra cookies, reserved for the topping
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed and divided
- 2 boxes (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the dish. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or use an ungreased dish if preferred for easier serving.
- Create the cookie base. Arrange the peanut butter cookies in a single layer across the bottom of the dish, breaking a few cookies as needed to fill the gaps.
- Make the cream cheese filling. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the whipped topping. Gently fold half of the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fluffy and evenly combined.
- Spread the cream layer. Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the cookie base, covering it evenly.
- Prepare the chocolate pudding. In a separate bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mixes with the cold milk for about 2 minutes, or according to the package directions, until thickened.
- Add the pudding layer. Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the cream cheese filling.
- Add the whipped topping. Spread the remaining whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer.
- Prepare the topping. Crush the reserved cookies and sprinkle them over the whipped topping. Gently warm the peanut butter in the microwave for 15–30 seconds, stirring until smooth and easy to drizzle.
- Finish the dessert. Drizzle the melted peanut butter over the top. Add mini chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, or flaky sea salt if desired.
- Chill until set. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so the layers firm up and the cookies soften slightly.
- Slice and serve. Cut into squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for neat slices. Serve chilled.
