Whip up a storm of deliciousness with this no-bake Peanut Butter Cool Whip Cookie Lasagna that layers up sweet, creamy, and nutty flavors into one irresistible dessert. Perfect for peanut butter lovers and those who adore a little crunch with their cream, this dessert lasagna is a fun twist on a classic Italian dish. No need to turn on the oven, this chilled treat is all about layering and setting to perfection. Here’s how to create this masterpiece:
Ingredients:
- 1 box Nutter Butter Cookies
- Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream (1 cup heavy cream whipped with a drop of sugar)
- Peanut butter cups, chopped
- ½ cup peanut butter, melted
- 1 box vanilla pudding (instant or regular), prepared according to package instructions
Instructions:
- Take an 8×8 inch pan and line the bottom with Nutter Butter Cookies. If you want to speed up the softening process, you can halve the cookies lengthwise or chop them before layering.
- Drizzle the first layer of cookies with half of the melted peanut butter, giving them a generous coating.
- Spoon over half of the prepared vanilla pudding, spreading it to cover the cookies.
- Add half of the Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream on top of the pudding layer. If you’re feeling fancy, pipe it on with a pastry bag for a pretty presentation, or simply spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle half of the chopped peanut butter cups over the cream layer, adding a bit of texture and chocolatey goodness.
- Repeat the layers once more, starting with the Nutter Butter Cookies and ending with the remaining chopped peanut butter cups.
- For the grand finale, decorate the top with crushed Nutter Butter cookies, more peanut butter cups, and a final drizzle of melted peanut butter to make it extra indulgent.
- Patience is key – chill your creation in the fridge for at least 24 hours to allow the cookies to soften and the layers to meld together beautifully.
