Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Dessert

Several weeks ago I tried this dessert recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter Dessert for our weekly potluck at church.  I have made similar desserts in the past, in particular a plain chocolate one and a lemon one.  Those are both wonderful, but I decided to give this chocolate peanut butter variation a try, and am so glad that I did.

The pudding layer includes both chocolate and vanilla pudding mixes for more of a milk chocolate flavor.  The cream cheese layer includes peanut butter, and there are chopped peanuts in the crust.  I was able to make this wheat free by substituting gluten free all purpose flour and adding a bit of xanthan gum.  This is a very delicious variation on the recipe and one that I will be making again.  If your family enjoys the flavors of chocolate and peanut butter together, you will want to give this recipe a try!
