TIPS:

This layered no-bake icebox cake is all about the texture as much as the flavors. It’s that balance of crunchy and luxuriously silky and creamy. When mixing together the peanut butter and cream cheese layer, make sure that your cream cheese is softened to room temperature. This will allow it to mix together easily and remain lump free.When it comes to mixing together the instant pudding layer, it takes a little more work to get the pudding to set with Dairy Free milk. This is also true if using a lower fat or skim milk. Make sure everything is cold from the milk itself to the bowl. In addition to making sure the oat milk and bowl are cold, always mix your pudding together at a high-speed using a hand or stand mixer.
