Just because your oven is out-of-office this summer doesn’t mean you can’t serve delicious desserts. No-bake treats are ready to fill in when the heat creeps up. Scoop creamy ice cream to make an old-fashioned banana split, layer whipped cream and cookies for a classic icebox cake, or serve up a dessert with a flavor combination that knows no season: chocolate and peanut butter.

This recipe for chocolate- peanut butter dream bars is made by topping a buttery chocolate crumb crust with layers of rich chocolate pudding, peanut butter cheesecake and whipped cream. Finish the dessert with chocolate curls and a peanut butter drizzle before cutting into bars and sharing with your friends.

Why you’ll love it

Peanut butter and chocolate are a perfect match. Layer an Oreo cookie crumb crust, rich chocolate pudding and creamy peanut butter cheesecake filling for the ultimate flavor combination.

It’s a make-ahead dessert everyone will love. Layered, no-bake desserts like this are best when made in advance to give the layers time to chill and set.
