Description
No-Bake Peanut Butter Lasagna is a decadent layered dessert featuring a creamy peanut butter filling, chocolate pudding, and a crunchy cookie crust. It’s an easy, crowd-pleasing treat that requires no oven and delivers rich, indulgent flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 package (14 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip), divided
- 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form a crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in half of the whipped topping until well combined. Spread this peanut butter layer evenly over the chilled crust.
- In another bowl, whisk together chocolate pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Spread pudding mixture over the peanut butter layer.
- Top with the remaining whipped topping, spreading evenly across the surface.
- Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts for garnish.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving for best texture.
Notes
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture if preferred.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and sugar-free pudding mix.
- Chill overnight for the best flavor and firm layers.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
