Peanut Butter Lasagna
Description
This Peanut Butter Lasagna begins with a crust formed by pulsing Nutter Butter cookies into fine crumbs and mixing them with melted butter, then pressing the mixture evenly into a 9x13 pan. The peanut butter layer is made by beating room temperature cream cheese with creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth, then folding in vanilla and milk to loosen the mixture. This layer is carefully spread over the crust to maintain a clean edge.
The chocolate pudding layer is prepared by whisking instant pudding mix with milk and thickening for 5 minutes before spooning and spreading it over the peanut butter cream. The dessert is refrigerated to allow the layers to firm up. Just before serving, a tub of whipped topping is spread evenly on top, adding lightness and a creamy finish that balances the denser layers beneath.
The dessert offers a contrast between the crisp cookie crust and smooth, rich layers of peanut butter and chocolate pudding, combining familiar flavors in a no-bake lasagna style. It is served chilled, making it a suitable choice for warm weather or as a make-ahead dessert for gatherings.
