Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (8 ounces/226 grams) package of cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups of creamy peanut butter
- 1 (3.4 ounces/96 grams) package of instant white chocolate pudding mix
- 1 1/4 cups of cold whole milk
- 1 (8 ounces/226 grams) container of whipped topping, thawed
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Additions:
- 14 fun-size peanut butter cups, quartered (divided into 10 for the filling and 4 for garnish)
- 1 cup of halved Reeses minis, unwrapped (for the filling)
- 1/2 cup of whole Reeses minis, unwrapped (for garnish)
- 1 1/2 cups of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided into 1 cup for the filling and 1/2 cup for garnish)
Serving Suggestion:
- Nutter butters, chocolate sandwich cookies, or chocolate striped cookies for dipping
Instructions
- Whip cream cheese and peanut butter in a large mixing bowl until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently sprinkle pudding mix over the creamy base, then gradually incorporate milk while mixing at a moderate speed until the mixture appears fully integrated and smooth.
- Delicately incorporate whipped topping, using gentle folding motions to maintain the light, airy texture.
- Carefully fold in chopped peanut butter cups, Reese’s minis, and mini chocolate chips, distributing ingredients evenly throughout the fluffy mixture.
- Transfer the decadent dessert into a serving container, creating an aesthetically pleasing surface by strategically arranging remaining peanut butter cup pieces, Reese’s minis, and chocolate chips as a decorative topping.
- Refrigerate the dessert for approximately two hours, allowing flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.
- Prior to serving, allow the dessert to rest at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, enhancing its creamy consistency and making it easier to scoop and enjoy.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture when blending with peanut butter.
- For a lighter texture, gently fold ingredients instead of overmixing to prevent deflating the whipped topping.
- Customize the dessert by swapping peanut butter cups with alternative mix-ins like crushed graham crackers or chopped nuts for different flavor profiles.
- Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free pudding mix and checking that all chocolate components are certified gluten-free.
