Ingredients
1 1/2 cups peanut butter cookies, crushed into crumbs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed peanut butter cookies and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the cookie crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch square baking dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined.
Spread half of the peanut butter filling evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
Sprinkle half of the remaining crushed peanut butter cookies over the filling layer.
Spread the remaining peanut butter filling over the cookie crumb layer.
Top with the remaining crushed peanut butter cookies as a final layer.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set.
Cut into squares and serve chilled.
