Equipment

  • 1 8-inch Square Baking Dish
  • 1 Electric Mixer (stand or hand)
  • 2 Medium Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Food Processor (for crushing cookies)

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 1 cup crushed gingersnap cookies about 18 cookies
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 pkg. 8 oz. 1/3 less fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup reduced fat or regular creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 container 8 oz. frozen light whipped topping, thawed, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups 9-oz. pkg. NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® DelightFulls Peanut Butter Filled Morsels, divided
  • 1 cup 1% milk
  • 1 pkg. 3.9 oz. chocolate instant pudding and pie filling mix
  • 6 gingersnap cookies coarsely chopped

Instructions
 

  • COMBINE 1 cup crushed gingersnaps and butter in small bowl. Press mixture lightly onto bottom of 8-inch-square baking dish. BEAT cream cheese, peanut butter and powdered sugar in medium mixer bowl until well blended. Stir half of whipped topping into mixture. Spread over gingersnap crust. Sprinkle with ¾ cup of DelightFulls morsels. WHISK milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes in medium bowl. Fold in remaining whipped topping. Spread mixture over peanut butter layer and DelightFulls morsels. Sprinkle with coarsely chopped gingersnap cookies and remaining ¾ cup DelightFulls morsels. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. REFRIGERATE for at least 2 hours before serving. Best when served within 1 day.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at true room temperature for optimal smoothness in the peanut butter layer, preventing lumps. When incorporating whipped topping into both the peanut butter and pudding mixtures, fold gently to maintain airiness and light texture; overmixing can deflate the topping. For the gingersnap crust, ensure cookies are finely crushed for a cohesive base. The full 2-hour minimum chilling time is crucial for the dessert to set properly, allowing for clean slices and a stable presentation. For an elevated touch, consider a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top to balance the sweetness.
