A rich, creamy, and easy no-bake dessert featuring layers of peanut butter, cream cheese, chocolate ganache, and whipped cream. Perfect for gatherings and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups crushed graham crackers (about 12 full sheets)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural or classic, smooth)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Layer: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until silky smooth. Spread evenly over chilled crust layer.
  3. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: Heat heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir gently until smooth and shiny. Cool slightly, then pour over peanut butter layer and smooth with a spatula.
  4. Whip the Cream Topping: Whip heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe evenly over chocolate layer.
  5. Chill and Set: Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow layers to meld and set.

Notes

Press the crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Do not over-whip the cream; stop at soft peaks. If ganache hardens, gently warm before spreading. Chill overnight for best slicing and flavor melding. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices.
