🍫Ingredients
- Oreos. You'll need 40 Oreos, 36 for the crust and 4 more to crush on top.
- Cream cheese. Use room temperature cream cheese so it blends easily into the peanut butter layer.
- Cool Whip. Pick up two 8-oz. tubs of Cool Whip at the grocery store -- one for the cream cheese layer and one for the top layer. If you're not a fan of Cool Whip, I recommend giving Truwhip a try.
- Chocolate chips. Mini chocolate chips add crunch and rich chocolate flavor to the peanut butter layer, and also make a great topping.
- Instant chocolate fudge pudding mix. You can also use chocolate pudding mix, it's just not quite as decadent as chocolate fudge pudding mix. Be sure to get instant pudding, not cook and serve.
🥧Variations
- Crust. Use different cookies for the crust, like Nutter Butters, Biscoff, Nilla Wafers, graham crackers, shortbread cookies, or other flavors of Oreos.
- Pudding. Try another pudding flavor like vanilla pudding, white chocolate pudding, butterscotch pudding, or cheesecake pudding.
- Pie filling. Add a layer of cherry pie filling or strawberry pie filling (think PB&J!) over the cream cheese layer! Or mix and match your favorite pie filling and pudding flavors.
- Flavor extracts. Add flavor enhancements like vanilla or almond extract to the cream cheese or pudding layer.
🥣How to Make Peanut Butter Oreo Heavenly Dessert
Step 1: Crush Oreos in food processor or blender. Combine cookie crumbs with melted butter. Firmly press crumbs into a 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Freeze.
Step 2: Beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Fold in the Cool Whip until completely combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Spread the mixture over the Oreo crust.
Step 3: Whisk pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes to set. Dollop pudding over peanut butter layer and spread evenly.
Step 4: Spread Cool Whip over the chocolate pudding layer. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, top with crushed Oreos, peanut butter chips, and chocolate chips.
📅Make Ahead

✅Expert Tips
- Grind the Oreos into fine crumbs -- it's the best way to get a compact crust that will stay together.

- Chill the assembled dessert at least 4 hours up to overnight to allow the layers to set and firm up
