Method
Make the Oreo crust
- Mix the finely crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter until evenly combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 dish; refrigerate for 15 minutes so it sets.
Spread the peanut butter cream
- Beat the softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy, then fold in 1 cup whipped topping and spread evenly over the Oreo crust.
Add the chocolate pudding layer
- Whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with cold whole milk for 2 minutes until thickened, then spread evenly over the peanut butter layer.
Top and garnish
- Spread the remaining 2 cups whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer to cover it completely.
- Scatter the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and chocolate shavings over the top, then drizzle with peanut butter for the final layer of flavor and visual contrast.
Chill and serve
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set, then slice into squares and serve cold.
Notes
For the clean, five-layer slice, chill until the center feels firm (overnight works best) and use a sharp knife wiped between cuts. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended because whipped topping can separate after thawing. For a dairy-light option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and a dairy-free whipped topping substitute to keep the texture close to the original.
