Description
A rich, creamy, and utterly irresistible no-bake dessert layered with buttery graham cracker crust, fluffy peanut butter mousse, and silky chocolate ganache. Perfect for potlucks, parties, or satisfying that chocolate-peanut butter craving!
Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- The Peanut Butter Layer:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Optional Toppings:
- Chopped peanuts
- Mini Reese’s pieces or cups
- Chocolate curls or drizzle
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press into the bottom of a greased 9×13″ dish. Chill for 10 minutes to set.
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Layer: Beat peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in whipped topping. Spread evenly over the chilled crust.
- Make the Chocolate Ganache: Heat the heavy cream until steaming (not boiling). Pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly.
- Assemble: Pour ganache over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Top with optional toppings before serving.
Notes
- Let the ganache cool slightly before pouring to avoid melting the peanut butter layer.
- Use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts for perfect slices.
- You can use store-bought crust if short on time.
