Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Toppings
- 1 cup chocolate chips, melted
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup crushed peanuts
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture is well blended and holds together.
- Form the crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish, creating an even layer as the base for the dessert.
- Make the peanut butter filling: In another bowl, mix together the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture, ensuring it is fully combined for a light and fluffy texture.
- Layer the filling: Evenly spread the peanut butter mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust in the baking dish.
- Add the chocolate drizzle: Drizzle the melted chocolate chips evenly over the peanut butter layer to add rich chocolate flavor.
- Top with marshmallows and peanuts: Sprinkle the mini marshmallows and crushed peanuts evenly over the chocolate layer for added texture and flavor.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the layers to firm up and the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Once set, cut the Peanut Butter Crunch Lasagna into squares and serve chilled for a deliciously creamy and crunchy dessert.
Notes
- For easier slicing, chill the dessert overnight.
- You can substitute creamy peanut butter with natural peanut butter, but texture may vary slightly.
- Ensure chocolate chips are fully melted for smooth drizzling.
- This dessert is best stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To add a twist, try using chocolate graham cracker crumbs for the crust.
