Ingredients
  

Group: Oreo Crust
  • 36 cookies Oreo cookies
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Group: Cream Cheese Layer
  • 8 oz block of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Group: Peanut Butter Layer
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping
Group: Chocolate Layer
  • 1 package (3.9 oz) chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 3 cups milk
  • additional whipped topping for garnish
  • chopped peanuts and chocolate shavings for garnish

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Food processor
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Plastic wrap

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they resemble fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs with the melted butter in a mixing bowl, then press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in 1 cup of powdered sugar, mixing until it's perfectly incorporated. Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping gently and spread over the cooled Oreo crust.
  3. In another bowl, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar until shiny. Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until just combined and spread over the cream cheese layer.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix with 3 cups of cold milk. Whisk until thickened and smooth. Pour over the peanut butter layer, smoothing out to create a glossy top.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. Before serving, add another layer of whipped topping and garnish with chopped peanuts and chocolate shavings.

Notes

Allow the layers to chill properly for a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.
