Ingredients

Scale
  • 36 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup chunky peanut butter (optional)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • Extra crushed chocolate cookies (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush 36 chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by hand. Mix with 6 tablespoons melted butter until combined. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup chunky peanut butter (if using), and 1 cup powdered sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour in 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture thickens and is spreadable.
  4. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Return pan to fridge while preparing the next layer (about 5 minutes).
  5. In a clean bowl, whisk together 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups cold milk for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Let sit for 1 minute.
  6. Carefully spread the pudding over the peanut butter layer.
  7. Dollop 1 1/2 cups whipped topping over the pudding layer and spread evenly.
  8. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped peanuts, 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, and extra crushed cookies if desired.
  9. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
  10. Cut into squares and serve cold.

Notes

For best results, chill overnight for clean slices and well-set layers. Soften cream cheese fully before mixing for a smooth peanut butter layer. Swap in gluten-free or dairy-free ingredients as needed. Let each layer chill briefly before adding the next for sharp, defined layers. Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze individual portions for up to a month.
