Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 package of Oreo cookies, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (melted), 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 cup of whipped topping, and 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- In a medium mixing bowl, crush the entire package of Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor for a finer texture, or place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- In a separate bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with the melted unsalted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the Oreo crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to create a solid crust. Use the back of a measuring cup or your hands to ensure it's compacted.
- In another mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated. This will create a light and fluffy peanut butter filling.
- Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the Oreo crust in the baking dish, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
- Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer in the baking dish. Use a spatula to create an even layer.
- Once assembled, refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly. This will make it easier to cut into squares.
- After chilling, remove the dessert from the refrigerator and cut it into 12 equal squares. Serve chilled and enjoy your No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreo Dessert!
Tips
- Crushing Oreos: For the smoothest crust, use a food processor. If you don't have one, seal cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin, ensuring uniform crumbs.
- Butter Temperature: Make sure your melted butter is slightly cooled before mixing with Oreo crumbs to prevent soggy crust.
- Peanut Butter Consistency: Use creamy, room-temperature peanut butter for the easiest mixing and smoothest filling.
- Chocolate Melting Hack: Melt chocolate chips slowly in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each to prevent burning.
- Chilling is Crucial: Allow at least 2 hours of refrigeration for the dessert to set properly, ensuring clean, neat slices.
- Make Ahead: This dessert can be prepared up to 2 days in advance, making it perfect for parties and gatherings.
- Storage: Keep refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for the best taste and texture.
