Description
A creamy, no-bake peanut butter cookie lasagna layered with Nutter Butters, pudding, whipped cream, peanut butter cups, and melted peanut butter.
Ingredients
- 1 box Nutter Butter Cookies
- Cool Whip or whip your own fresh whipped cream (1 cup cream plus a drop of sugar for sweetness)
- peanut butter cups
- ½ cup peanut butter, melted in microwave
- 1 box instant or regular vanilla pudding prepared according to package
Instructions
Line the Base:
Arrange the Nutter Butter cookies in a single layer covering the bottom of an 8×8 pan.
Add Melted Peanut Butter:
Drizzle the ½ cup melted peanut butter evenly over the cookie layer.
First Pudding Layer:
Spoon half of the prepared vanilla pudding over the cookie + peanut butter layer.
Whipped Cream Layer:
Pipe or spread half of the whipped cream (or Cool Whip) on top of the pudding. The blog suggests using a pastry bag for a neat finish, but you can also spread it with a spatula.
Candy Layer:
Scatter chopped peanut butter cups on top of the whipped cream.
Repeat Layers:
Repeat the layering: cookies → melted peanut butter → pudding → whipped cream → more peanut butter cups.
Decorate the Top:
Decorate the surface with crushed Nutter Butter cookies, more peanut butter cups, and an extra drizzle of melted peanut butter.
Chill Until Set:
Chill the lasagna in the refrigerator overnight (24 hours or more). This long chill is crucial so the cookies soften completely and the dessert sets properly.
Tip: To help cookies soften faster, you can halve each cookie lengthwise (don’t worry about the cream filling), or even chop them before layering.
Notes
Use full-fat pudding and whipped cream for the richest layers.
Cool Whip holds structure better for clean slices, but freshly whipped cream tastes richer — either works.
Cut peanut butter cups into different sizes for better texture throughout the layers.
If using instant pudding, let it thicken fully before layering to prevent sliding.
