Description

Creamy, no-bake chocolate peanut butter dessert cups layered with Oreo cookie crust, whipped peanut butter mousse, and a sweet candy topping. Perfect for parties, school lunches, or any peanut butter lover craving!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups crushed Oreo cookie crumbs (with filling)
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, melted and cooled
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (like Reese’s or Jif)
  • 1 1/2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Chocolate sauce, for drizzling
  • 28 Reese’s peanut butter minis (2 per cup)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix Oreo crumbs with melted butter until fully coated. Add 2 tsp to each dessert cup and press down to form a crust.
  2. In another bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  3. Add peanut butter and mix until creamy.
  4. Add cold heavy cream and vanilla. Beat 2–3 minutes until thick and fluffy.
  5. Transfer mousse to a piping bag. Pipe over cookie crust, filling each cup ¾ full.
  6. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and top with a Reese’s mini.
  7. Chill in the fridge at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, chill cream before whipping and use room temperature cream cheese.
  • Make ahead up to 3 days in advance.
  • For allergy-friendly swaps, use sunflower seed butter and GF cookies.
  • Freeze undecorated cups for up to 1 month; thaw overnight and garnish before serving.
  • Try topping with chopped nuts, crushed pretzels, or seasonal candy!
