When it comes to peanut butter desserts, this Peanut Butter Oreo Dessert will top them all. This delectable treat has layers of velvety peanut butter filling, peanut butter filled chocolate candy, and a rich hot fudge mousse piled on top of an Oreo cookie crust. To top it all off, there is no baking involved! If you love no-bake desserts, make sure to check out my piggy pie dessert and my no-bake cheesecake!
If you are a peanut butter dessert lover like me, this one is hands down one of my favorites. The thick oreo crust is the perfect complement to peanut butter. Boy oh boy do we introduce peanut butter in this dessert. In a few different amazing ways!
The crust is a simple mixture of crushed Oreo Cookies and butter. The consistency of the cookie crumbles is important, so I would recommend using a food processor to ensure that you can get the finest grain. For this dessert, I left the white cream filling in the Oreo during the food processing step.
Ingredients
OREO CRUST
30 Oreo cookies
½ cup (113g) butter, melted
CREAM CHEESE LAYER
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup (128g) creamy peanut butter
1 cup (125g) confectioners sugar
8 ounces whipped topping
30 mini peanut butter cups (or 9 full size), chopped
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE LAYER
1 package (3.9 ounces) dry instant chocolate fudge pudding mix
2 cups (490g) whole milk
8 ounces whipped topping
½ cup (63g) confectioners sugar
Instructions
OREO CRUST
Using a food processor, process 30 Oreos cookies until they are a fine crumb (it’s ok if there are a few cookie chunks).
Set aside ¼ cup for the topping.
In a large bowl, combine remaining cookie crumbs with melted butter until fully incorporated.
Press cookie mixture into an ungreased 9-inch square dish; set aside.
CREAM CHEESE LAYER
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy.
Add peanut butter and 1 cup confectioners sugar and stir together until smooth.
Fold in the whipped topping. Spread over crust.
Sprinkle with chopped peanut butter cups.
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE LAYER
In another large bowl, beat the milk, pudding mix, and confectioners sugar until soft-set (about 2 minutes).
Fold in whipped topping and continue folding until fully combined. Spread over chopped peanut butter cups. (I did not use all the chocolate mousse for this layer, some was put in individual cups for the kids.)
Crush remaining cookies; sprinkle over the top. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
