No-Sugar Chocolate Peanut Butter Icebox Dessert

A creamy, layered, no-bake dessert made with just three simple ingredients—perfect when you want something sweet, satisfying, and lighter without added sugar.

 Ingredients (Only 3!)

  • 2 cups sugar-free whipped topping (or whipped cream alternative)
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (no added sugar)
  • 1½–2 cups sugar-free chocolate cookies or chocolate wafers

 Instructions

  1. Make the creamy layer:
    In a bowl, mix peanut butter with the whipped topping until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Layer the dessert:
    In a glass dish, spread a thin layer of the cream mixture.
    Add a layer of chocolate cookies.
    Repeat layers (cream → cookies) until the dish is full, ending with cream on top.
  3. Add topping:
    Crush a few cookies and sprinkle on top for texture.
  4. Chill:
    Refrigerate for 4–6 hours (or overnight) so the cookies soften into cake-like layers.
  5. Serve:
    Scoop and enjoy your creamy, no-bake treat!
