Ingredients
1 family size package Nutter Butter cookies
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
3 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed (divided)
1 (5.9-ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Layer the cookies: Line the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole dish with a single layer of Nutter Butter cookies.
- Make the cheesecake layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of the whipped topping.
- Add the cheesecake layer: Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the cookie base and spread evenly to cover.
- Prepare the pudding: In another bowl, whisk the pudding mix with cold milk for about 5 minutes, or until thickened. Check the box instructions for exact timing.
- Add the pudding layer: Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Top with whipped topping: Spread the rest of the whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
- Add the crunchy topping: Place the remaining cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them. Sprinkle the cookie crumbs over the top.
- Drizzle with peanut butter: Microwave the peanut butter for about 30 seconds until melted. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a piping bag or plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Drizzle over the top.
- Chill: Refrigerate until the peanut butter sets. For best results, cover and refrigerate overnight to let the cookies soften.
Notes
Use regular creamy peanut butter for best drizzle results.
Soften cream cheese completely to avoid lumps.
Chill overnight for ideal texture and flavor.
Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips or chopped Reese’s.
