Ingredients
– 1 package (14.3 ounces) of Oreo cookies (or gluten-free alternative)
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar

– 2 cups cold milk

Instructions
Making Chocolate Peanut Butter Lasagna is a simple process that follows these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Oreo Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed cookies with melted butter until well combined.
2. Create the Base Layer: Press the crushed Oreo mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Set aside.
3. Make the Peanut Butter Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until incorporated. Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until fully combined.
4. Layer the Peanut Butter Mixture: Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the Oreo crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
5. Prepare the Chocolate Pudding: In another bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Layer the Chocolate Pudding: Pour the chocolate pudding over the peanut butter layer, ensuring it covers the mixture evenly.
7. Add Whipped Topping: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer, smoothing it out.
8. Chill the Dessert: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This chilling time allows the layers to set properly.
9. Garnish: Just before serving, sprinkle chocolate chips and chopped peanuts on top for added texture and flavor.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut the lasagna into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy every delectable bite!
