PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE LASAGNA

If u love peanut butter cups, u will love this lasagna! I followed other reviewer's suggestions on decreasing the conf. sugar and the milk for the pudding. I made only one lasagna and did the following: 3/4 c peanut butter, 1/2 cup of butter, 2 c conf sugar, and 1 1/2 c. of milk (wanted pudding to set thicker) and a store bought oreo crust.

I also added 2 tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture to the pudding YUM! I decorated the lasagna w the peanut butter crumble as per a suggestion: a t of peanut butter and conf sugar. I love this lasagna and I'm making it again right now!

This lasagna is a family favorite and is requested at many gatherings. My family LOVES chocolate and peanut butter, but they also love oreos. So, I found a way to combine them all with this recipe! I use two instant chocolate pudding and top the lasagna with mini oreos surrounding the edge and crushed oreos sprinkled over the middle. It looks and tastes fantastic!!

Peanut Butter Layer
8 oz cream cheese (I use light), softened
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
¼ cup milk
1½ cups whipped topping such as Cool Whip

Chocolate Layer
2 boxes of instant chocolate pudding (4 servings size)
3 cups milk

Topping
Remaining Cool whip
1 bag of Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cups
Chocolate Syrup (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Oreo Crust
  • In a food processor or a ziplock bag, finely crush oreo cookies. Stir in melted butter. Press into a 9" x13" pan or glass dish. Place in the freezer while preparing the next layer.
  • Peanut Butter Layer
  • With mixer on medium, cream cream cheese, milk & peanut butter until fluffy. Slowly add in powdered sugar. Gently fold in whipped topping.
  • Spread the peanut butter layer on the Oreo crust. Place in the freezer while preparing the next layer.

Chocolate Layer
  • In a bowl, mix together both boxes of pudding mix and milk. (Note: This will be less milk than called for on the box. You want this layer a little bit thicker than pudding.)
  • Spread the pudding onto the peanut butter layer. Place in the fridge and allow to set for about 5 minutes.
  • Top with remaining cool whip, chopped Reese's Mini Pieces and chocolate sauce if desired. Refrigerate at least 3 hours.
