Description
Peanut Butter Cookie Lasagna is a delightful dessert that layers creamy peanut butter filling, chocolate pudding, and a crunchy cookie crust for a delicious treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups peanut butter cookie crumbs (about 12 cookies)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.
- Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust in the baking dish.
- In another bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until it thickens, about 2 minutes. Pour the pudding over the peanut butter layer and spread it evenly.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts and mini chocolate chips on top of the pudding layer for added texture and flavor.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results, to allow the layers to set.
- Once chilled, slice into squares and serve cold.
Notes
- For a crunchier texture, consider adding a layer of crushed pretzels or graham crackers between the peanut butter and pudding layers.
- Substitute the chocolate pudding with vanilla pudding for a different flavor profile, or use a sugar-free pudding mix for a lighter option.
