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!
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!
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.
How to Store Peanut Butter Oreo Dessert
This dessert should be kept covered and refrigerated. It should last 5-6 days in the refrigerator.

Oreo Crust
- 30 Oreo cookies
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (128 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar

- 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.

Amazing! Worth every calorie!
Don’t have food processor… can a premade chocolate crust be substituted?
Yes, or buy chocolate cookie crumbs and use those. Blender or rolling pin will also break up/crush Oreos.
Very yummy n tempting 😋
Can you use Real whipped cream.
I’m not a fan of the others that come in containers
Of course.

Can you make this sugar free?
I’d like to make this in a 9×13 pan. Do you think I should double the ingredients?
Is the whipped topping 8 ounces as in 1 cup or 8 ounces as in a whole container?
Amanda,
Can this be made ahead and frozen?
Excellent tasting, easy to make and no baking. Perfect!
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!
