Scale
Cookies
- 2 packages peanut butter sandwich cookies
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 16 oz whipped topping, divided
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, smooth peanut butter, and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in half of the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture, creating a light and fluffy filling texture.
- Prepare Cookie Layer: Briefly dip the peanut butter sandwich cookies into the milk to slightly soften them, then arrange a single layer of these dipped cookies evenly at the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.
- Add Filling Layer: Spread half of the peanut butter filling evenly over the layer of cookies in the dish.
- Repeat Layers: Dip another layer of cookies in milk and arrange them over the filling, then spread the remaining peanut butter filling on top.
- Top with Whipped Topping: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the final layer, smoothing it out evenly for a neat finish.
- Add Peanuts (Optional): Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top of the whipped topping if desired for added texture and flavor.
- Chill to Set: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the dessert to set and flavors to meld before slicing and serving.
Notes
- This dessert must be chilled to set properly and achieve the best texture.
- You can substitute peanut butter cookies with vanilla or chocolate sandwich cookies for a flavor variation.
- Adding a drizzle of chocolate or caramel on top can enhance the richness and sweetness.
