Peanut Butter Oreo Dessert
If you are a peanut butter dessert lover like me, this one is hands down one of my favorites. The thick Oreo crust is the perfect complement to peanut butter. And, we definitely introduce peanut butter in this dessert, and in a few different amazing ways! For another lavish, layered, and decadent Oreo crust dessert, be sure to try my Chocolate Mud Bars!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Crust: The crust is a simple mixture of crushed Oreo Cookies and butter. The consistency of the cookie crumbles is important, so I would recommend using a food processor to ensure that you can get the finest grain. For this dessert, I left the white cream filling in the Oreo during the food processing step. You could also use a store-bought cookie crust.
Peanut Butter Filling: For the peanut butter filling, start by creaming the cream cheese to make it light and fluffy, and then add in the peanut butter, whipped cream, and confectioners’ sugar. Pour that on top of the Oreo Crust. Next, chop up some peanut butter cups, or buy the mini peanut butter cups and just use those (which is what I did).
Chocolate Mousse: You will have some chocolate mousse leftover. Simply save it to serve as a dessert or enjoy the chocolate treat yourself!
Can I Use a Different Pan?
You can use a different-sized pan, but it will change the height of the layers. For instance, if you use an 8×8-inch pan, it will be very, very thick and will overflow. If you use a 9×13-inch pan the layers will be thinner.
How to Store Peanut Butter Oreo Dessert
This dessert should be kept covered and refrigerated. It should last 5-6 days in the refrigerator.

Is it a 9×13 dish or a 9×9 square dish
Love your blog and recipes. I love to bake, I am a diabetic. I make for my friends and family. I don’t eat myself, just a bite to make sure it tastes good.
Can you use a 9×13 pan for this
Just made 3 pans of this for the people I work with made some 2 weeks ago was gone in about 10 minutes it is so good love it
So happy to hear!
Could you freeze this?
This is a great dessert. To give it even more peanut butter flavor(can’t get enough) try using peanut butter flavor Oreos instead of plain. Enjoy.
Use NutterButter cookies for the crust, instead, if you want mire peanut butter flavor.
Hey! Didn’t see the video for this recipe. 😕
This looks absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to make it today. My boyfriend loathes cream cheese so I am going to make two, Any ideas on what I could use instead of cream cheese in the second one?
Have you or anyone out there ever made this and built it in a spring form pan rather than a 9 x 9 ? I have either a 9 in spring form or an 8 x 8 Pyrex. TIA
I definitely wish I hadn’t used so much cool whip in the peanut butter cream cheese layer, it took away a lot of the flavor. If I make this again I’d use 4 oz instead of 8. I learned from that and used 4 oz in the top layer so it would retain more of the chocolate flavor. Other than that it was good.
