Ingredients

Base Layer

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 200g cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Creamy Filling

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Add-ins

  • ½ cup chocolate chips (or chunks)

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup milk chocolate (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (for smooth texture)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or whisk
  • Spatula
  • Serving dish or bowl

Step 1: Prepare the Peanut Butter Base

In a large bowl, combine:

  • Peanut butter
  • Cream cheese
  • Powdered sugar
  • Vanilla extract

Use a mixer to blend until smooth, creamy, and fluffy. This forms the rich base of your dessert.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl:

  • Add cold heavy cream
  • Add sugar

Whip until soft peaks form (light and fluffy). This gives the dessert its airy texture.

Step 3: Combine Mixtures

Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.

Do this slowly using a spatula to keep the texture light and creamy.

Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.

You can also add chopped chocolate chunks for extra richness.

Step 5: Assemble

Transfer the mixture into a serving dish or bowl.

Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6: Prepare Chocolate Topping

Melt the chocolate (microwave or double boiler), then mix in heavy cream to make it silky and pourable.

Step 7: Add the Topping

Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture.

Spread evenly to cover the surface.

Step 8: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm and set.

Step 9: Serve

Serve chilled with:

  • Biscuits
  • Crackers
  • Bread slices
  • Or eat it directly with a spoon 😍

Tips for Perfect Texture

Use Softened Cream Cheese

This prevents lumps and makes the mixture smooth.

Don’t Overmix Whipped Cream

Overmixing can make it dense instead of fluffy.

Chill Well

The longer it chills, the better it sets and tastes.

Variations

1. Oreo Version 🍪

Add crushed Oreos instead of chocolate chips.

2. Nutella Twist 🍫

Swirl Nutella into the mixture before adding topping.

3. Banana Flavor 🍌

Add mashed banana for a fruity touch.

4. Crunchy Version

Use crunchy peanut butter for extra texture.
