Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the crust base: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated, then press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9 inch pan to form a sturdy base.
- Create the peanut butter layer: In a separate bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined.
- Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the graham cracker base.
- Melt the chocolate topping: Melt the chocolate chips either in the microwave or over a double boiler. Pour this melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread it evenly.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly. Once chilled, cut into squares, serve, and enjoy!
