Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers for crust
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for crust
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted, for crust
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter for filling
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for filling
- 1 cup heavy cream for whipped cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar for whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for whipped cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and unsweetened cocoa powder. Pour in melted unsalted butter and stir until the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Divide the crust mixture evenly among jars, pressing down firmly to create a solid base layer. Refrigerate the jars to chill the crust.
- In another bowl, mix creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until light and airy.
- Spoon or pipe the peanut butter filling over the chilled crust layers in the jars. Smooth the tops and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Optionally, melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over the jars.
- Refrigerate the jars for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set properly before serving.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Electric mixer or hand whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Jars or small dessert cups
- Spatula or Spoon
- Microwave-safe bowl (optional)
Notes
- Make sure heavy cream is well chilled before whipping for best texture.
- For a chunkier crust, reserve some crushed graham crackers to sprinkle on top before serving.
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth filling; natural peanut butter can be grainy and less stable.
