Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Lasagna

This no bake dessert is so lush, creamy and delectable.  An extra special added bonus is that it’s super simple to put together.  The chocolate graham crackers serve as the lasagna “noodles” and the peanut butter and cream cheese form the “cheese” filling.  I love to bake, but, I know many people don’t have the time, or perhaps aren’t inclined to bake goods from scratch.  The only special equipment you’ll need to prepare this incredible dessert is a mixer and you’re good to go.  It’s a 5 star dessert that’s worth sharing. 

You’ll need: 

2  [8 oz] softened cream cheese [16 ounces total] 1 1/2 cups peanut butter 1 cup powdered sugar 1 cup heavy cream 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 16 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed 1 [14 oz] box chocolate graham crackers 1 [12 oz] bag miniature peanut butter cups 3/4 cup sea salt or salted cocktail peanuts 

Chocolate drizzle: 1 cup milk chocolate chips 1/3 cup heavy cream 

Topping: 8 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed 

To prepare the chocolate drizzle: Melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together in the microwave until smooth.  Melt in 15 second increments stopping to stir periodically.  Set aside to cool while you make the filling. 

[tip: It should be slightly warm to the touch before drizzling on top of the lasagna.] 

To prepare the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, whip together both blocks of softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream and vanilla.
Whip for 2-3 minutes until fully combined and smooth. 
The mixture will be thick.
Add 16 ounces of thawed whipped topping, 8 ounces at a time. 
Continue to whip until fluffy and light.  The filling will be divided into thirds to layer the dessert. Remove the wrappers from the peanut butter cups and chop.  Roughly chop the peanuts.  Divide both into thirds for layering. 
In a 9 x 13 inch dish start with one layer of graham crackers.  
Next, add 1/3 of the filling mixture, sprinkle with 1/3 of the chopped peanut butter cups and 1/3 of the chopped peanuts. 
Gently press the next layer of graham crackers into the filling and repeat, ending with the final third of the peanut butter filling. Frost with whipped topping, and sprinkle the top with the remaining chopped peanut butter cups and peanuts. 
Drizzle with chocolate. 
Chill for at least 4-6  hours before cutting.  

Yield: 16-20 servings
