Peanut Butter Oreo Dessert

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.  And, we definitely introduce peanut butter in this dessert, and in a few different amazing ways! For another lavish, layered, and decadent Oreo crust dessert, be sure to try my Chocolate Mud Bars!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Crust: 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. You could also use a store-bought cookie crust.

Peanut Butter Filling: For the peanut butter filling, start by creaming the cream cheese to make it light and fluffy, and then add in the peanut butter, whipped cream, and confectioners’ sugar.  Pour that on top of the Oreo Crust.  Next, chop up some peanut butter cups, or buy the mini peanut butter cups and just use those (which is what I did).

Chocolate Mousse: You will have some chocolate mousse leftover. Simply save it to serve as a dessert or enjoy the chocolate treat yourself!

The BEST Peanut Butter Dessert

Can I Use a Different Pan?

You can use a different-sized pan, but it will change the height of the layers. For instance, if you use an 8×8-inch pan, it will be very, very thick and will overflow. If you use a 9×13-inch pan the layers will be thinner.

Ingredients

Oreo Crust

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 ounces  cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (128 g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup  (125 g) 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 (490 g) whole milk
  • 8 ounces whipped topping
  • ½ cup (63 g) confectioners' sugar

Instructions

Oreo Crust

  • Using a food processor, process 30 Oreos cookies until they are a fine crumb.(It's okay if there are a few cookie chunks.) Set aside ¼ cup crumbs 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 of confectioners' sugar. 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 the chopped peanut butter cups. (I did not use all the chocolate mousse for this layer; serve the remaining as a treat or snack.)
  • Sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs over the top. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.

    1. Yes, or buy chocolate cookie crumbs and use those. Blender or rolling pin will also break up/crush Oreos.

  1. This was so good! I LOVED the homemade whipped topping! Thank goodness there are gluten free Oreo’s since I have to be gluten-free!
