Key Ingredients You’ll Need

Nutter Butters: You will combine the cookies with butter to make the crust.

Peanut Butter: You will combine this with cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to make the soft and creamy filling.

Instant Chocolate Pudding: Using instant will make the prepping process a lot fast, but you can make your own homemade chocolate pudding recipe.

Whipped Topping: I like to use my own homemade whipped cream for this recipe.

How To Make Peanut Butter Lasagna

Step 1. In a food processor, add the nutter butter cookies and pulse until it forms fine crumbs. Add in the melted butter and combine. Add into a 9×13-inch pan and press into a flat even layer.

Step 2. Add the cream cheese, peanut butter, and sugar into a large bowl and combine. Pour in the vanilla and milk and combine again. Add on top of the prepared crust evenly using a spoon. Make sure to do this carefully so you don’t pull up any of the crust.

Step 3. In a bowl, add the 3 cups of milk and pour the instant pudding on top, and whisk to combine. Allow the mixture to set for 5 minutes to thicken. Spoon the cream cheese layer evenly. Place in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Once you are ready, top it with whipped cream and enjoy!

  • I love using my homemade whipped cream to add on top, but store-bought will work just as well.
  • Add chocolate shavings or crushed nutter butter cookies on top
