📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Crush the cookies:
  • Crush the chocolate graham crackers or Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  1. Mix with butter:
  • In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter and mix until well combined.
  1. Form the crust:
  • Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to create an even layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while preparing the other layers.

2. Make the Peanut Butter Layer:

  1. Beat the peanut butter and cream cheese:
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter and softened cream cheese until smooth.
  1. Add powdered sugar:
  • Mix in the powdered sugar until well combined.
  1. Fold in whipped topping:
  • Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy. Spread this layer evenly over the chilled crust.

3. Prepare the Chocolate Pudding Layer:

  1. Make the pudding:
  • In a bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  1. Spread over the peanut butter layer:
  • Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the peanut butter layer.

4. Add the Final Layer:

  1. Top with whipped topping:
  • Spread the remaining whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer to complete the lasagna.

5. Garnish and Chill:

  1. Add toppings:
  • If desired, sprinkle the top with mini chocolate chips, chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, or drizzle with chocolate syrup for extra indulgence.
  1. Chill:
  • Refrigerate the Peanut Butter Lasagna for at least 2-4 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to set.
