The whipped cream on this dessert is my own tweak. It is a cream cheese-whipped cream that is completely stable (it does NOT deflate). If you look at the second photo, you can see how well it pipes and, amazingly enough, it stays that way for days (in the fridge)!!
PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE DESSERT
20 Oreos, divided
2 tablespoons butter, softened
(1) 8 ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup peanut butter
1½ cups powdered sugar, divided
(1) 16 ounce carton whipped topping, divided
15 mini peanut butter cups, chopped
1 cup cold milk
(1) 3.9 ounce instant chocolate fudge pudding mix
Crush 16 of the cookies in food processor, add melted butter and press into the bottom of an Ungreased 9” square dish (I used a 9” round spring form pan).
In large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter and one cup of the powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in HALF of the whipped topping and spread over the Oreo crust. Sprinkle with peanut butter cups (chop them pretty small).
In another mixing bowl, beat the milk, pudding mix and remaining powdered sugar on low for two minutes then fold in the remaining whipped topping. Spread over the peanut butter layer. Crush the remaining 4 Oreo cookies and sprinkle over the top. Cover and chill for at least three hours.
NOTE: I removed the frosting layer from the Oreos and then processed them into very fine crumbs.
STABLE WHIPPED CREAM
(1) 8 ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
2 cups heavy whipping cream
Combine the cream cheese, sugar and extracts in a large mixing bowl until very smooth (scrape the sides of the bowl often). While the mixer is still running, slowly pour in the heavy cream. Continue beating on high speed until very stiff peaks form.
NOTE: I left out the almond extract for this chocolate dessert, however, if you are using this whipped cream for anything but chocolate, the almond extract is a nice addition.
NOTE: Make sure you stop and scrape the bowl sides down while you are whipping the cream. This next photo is a close up to show you how well this whipped cream "behaves" in a piping bag.
This is what the dessert looks like inside
QUESTION: What's on your Thanksgiving menu this year (from soup to dessert)??
