Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package graham crackers (approx. 12 crackers)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for peanut butter filling)
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips, melted

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This creates a luscious, airy base for the dessert. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth. This layer provides a rich, nutty contrast to the whipped cream.
  3. In a rectangular baking dish, create a base layer using graham crackers. Make sure the crackers fit snugly to form a solid foundation.
  4. Spread half of the whipped cream mixture evenly over the graham crackers, ensuring a smooth layer.
  5. Add a layer of the peanut butter mixture over the whipped cream, spreading it gently to avoid mixing the layers.
  6. Repeat the layering process with graham crackers, whipped cream, and peanut butter mixture, ending with a final whipped cream layer on top.
  7. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top layer, smoothing it out with a spatula for an elegant finish.

Tips for Success

  • For added texture, sprinkle crushed peanuts or mini chocolate chips on top of the final layer.
  • To ensure neat slices, refrigerate overnight and use a sharp knife to cut through the layers.
  • Swap graham crackers for chocolate wafers for an extra chocolatey twist.
