Follow these easy steps to bring the delightful Crunchy Peanut Butter Oreo Chocolate Delight Cake to life!
Ingredients:
- 24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed 🍪
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter 🥜
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar 🍬
- 1/2 cup milk 🥛
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 🍫
- 1/2 cup heavy cream 🌿
Instructions:
- Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreos and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture tightly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
- Make the peanut butter layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing until well blended.
- Add the milk: Slowly pour in the milk, continuing to mix until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Layer it up: Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled Oreo crust.
- Prepare the chocolate topping: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly, then pour this chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly.
- Chill: Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Serve: Once set, remove from the springform pan, slice, and enjoy! 🍽️
