Description
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Dessert Cups are an irresistible no-bake treat made with a buttery Oreo crust, creamy peanut butter filling, and topped with Reese’s minis. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth in bite-sized form, they’re quick to prepare and full of rich, decadent flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed Oreo cookie crumbs (with cream)
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted and cooled
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (Reese’s brand recommended)
- 1 ½ cups cold heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Chocolate sauce, for drizzling
- 28 Reese’s peanut butter minis (2 per cup)
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Place 2 teaspoons of the buttered cookie crumbs into each portion cup. Use a spoon or another cup to press the crumbs down to form a compact base layer.
- Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar on medium speed for 1-1 ½ minutes until smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add the creamy peanut butter to the mixture and beat until smooth.
- Add the cold heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract to the mixture, and continue mixing for 2-3 minutes until the filling thickens and can hold its shape when piped.
- Transfer the peanut butter mixture into a disposable piping bag (or a Ziploc bag with a snipped corner) and pipe the filling over the crust in each cup, filling them about ¾ full.
- Drizzle chocolate sauce over the top of the peanut butter filling in a zigzag pattern. Place a Reese’s peanut butter mini on top of each cup.
- Cover the cups with lids and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- If you don’t have Reese’s minis, you can use regular Reese’s cups and chop them into smaller pieces.
- The dessert cups should be stored in the refrigerator until served to keep the filling firm.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of sea salt on top of each cup after the chocolate drizzle.
