Instructions

Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, letting the edges extend over the sides. Sprinkle a third of the crushed Nutter Butter cookies evenly on the bottom of the pan.
In a large bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully incorporated.
Divide the mascarpone mixture evenly among three bowls. To the first portion, fold in the sliced banana, then spread it over the cookie layer in the loaf pan.
To the second portion of the mascarpone mixture, stir in the melted semisweet chocolate and cocoa. Spread this mixture over the banana layer in the pan.
Stir chunky peanut butter into the third portion of the mascarpone mixture and spread it evenly over the chocolate layer. Top with the remaining crushed cookies.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze the terrine for at least 5 hours, or until firm.
To serve, invert the terrine onto a platter and remove the plastic wrap. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Allow for proper freezing to achieve a firm texture when slicing.
Make sure the melted chocolate is cooled slightly before mixing to avoid curdling the mascarpone mixture.
Let the mascarpone cheese and whipped topping come to room temperature for a smooth texture.
