Heaven in a Bowl: Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Dessert

Ingredients

• 24 Chocolate sandwich cookies (Finely crushed, plus extra for garnish if desired)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (Melted)
• 8 oz Cream cheese (Softened)
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter (Smooth)
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 package Instant chocolate pudding mix (Approximately 3.9 oz / 110 g package)
• 3 cup Cold milk (Whole or 2% milk)
• 8 oz Whipped topping (Thawed; divided between the peanut butter layer and topping)
• 8 Reese’s peanut butter cups (Chopped, with additional pieces for garnish if desired)
• 0.25 cup Chocolate sauce (For drizzling)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, pour in the melted butter, and stir until evenly moistened and the mixture resembles damp sand.

2. 2

   Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a large trifle bowl or 9-by-13-inch serving dish to form an even crust. Refrigerate while preparing the remaining layers.

3. 3

   Beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

4. 4

   Fold approximately half of the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until no large white streaks remain. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled cookie crust.

5. 5

   Pour the cold milk into a clean bowl. Add the instant chocolate pudding mix and whisk for about 2 minutes, until the pudding thickens and has no visible dry pockets.

6. 6

   Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the peanut butter layer.

7. 7

   Add the remaining whipped topping as the final creamy layer, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

8. 8

   Scatter the chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups over the whipped topping and drizzle with chocolate sauce.

9. 9

   Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and firm enough to scoop. Serve cold.
