If you are a fan of creamy and cool chocolate peanut butter desserts, this peanut butter Oreo delight recipe is for you. It features layers of vanilla and peanut butter goodness over an Oreo crumb crust. This easy to make dessert is sure to be a hit!
There is something about the combination of creamy pudding layers and Oreo cookies. That is what makes dirt cake so delicious.
When I asked my brother what he wanted for his birthday dessert, he requested some sort of Oreo fluff with peanut butter. The thing is, he and one of my sisters both like to request dirt pudding for their treat, but their birthdays are within a few weeks of each other.
So he usually tries to request something similar, but a bit different. That way she can order dirt pudding and it doesn’t seem like we’ve had it too many times in a row.
This dessert builds on that idea and adds even more layers of goodness. The chocolate cookie crumbs act as a base.
The filling is a creamy peanut butter and cream cheese layer. Top all of that with a fluffy pudding and whipped topping mixture.
The result is the perfect mix of rich and refreshing. It is a perfect make ahead dessert, and it is no bake too.
I think that is a whole lot of wins wrapped up in one recipe! My brother, the birthday boy, seemed to enjoy it.
If your family love peanut butter and chocolate as much as we do, I think they will too. It was such a lovely combination of flavors and textures.
