Description
Nutter Butter Trifle is a delightful and indulgent dessert that layers creamy pudding, whipped topping, and crunchy Nutter Butter cookies for a deliciously sweet treat. It combines the beloved peanut butter flavor of Nutter Butters with rich vanilla pudding and a fluffy whipped topping, creating a perfect balance of creamy and crunchy textures.
Ingredients
- 1 package Nutter Butter cookies (about 18–20 cookies)
- 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) vanilla instant pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup crushed Nutter Butter cookies (for garnish)
- 1 tbsp chocolate syrup (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Set aside to let it firm up for 5 minutes.
- Prepare the peanut butter mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in half of the whipped topping and mix until well combined.
- Layer the trifle: In a large trifle dish or individual serving glasses, start by adding a layer of whole Nutter Butter cookies at the bottom.
- Add pudding layer: Spoon a layer of the vanilla pudding mixture over the cookies, spreading it evenly.
- Add peanut butter mixture: Add a layer of the peanut butter mixture over the pudding.
- Add whipped topping: Spoon half of the remaining whipped topping over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.
- Repeat layers: Repeat the layers, starting with more Nutter Butter cookies, followed by pudding, peanut butter mixture, and whipped topping, until all ingredients are used.
- Finish with a topping: Garnish with crushed Nutter Butter cookies and drizzle with chocolate syrup, if desired.
- Chill: Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together and for the trifle to set.
- Serve: Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For an even richer treat, layer in some mini chocolate chips, chocolate pudding, or drizzle chocolate syrup in between layers.
- Chop up peanut butter cups and add them as a layer for an extra peanut butter crunch.
- If you’re not a fan of Nutter Butters, you can use other cookies like Oreos or chocolate chip cookies.
- Add sliced bananas for a peanut butter and banana twist!
