📋 Ingredients:

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 🥛 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 🍬 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 🥜 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 🧀 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 🍯 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 🍫 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 🥛 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Layers:

  • 🍪 1 package (14 oz) chocolate graham crackers
  • 🍬 2 cups chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

For Garnish (optional):

  • 🍬 Additional chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
  • 🍫 Chocolate shavings

📝 Directions:

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • In another mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined.
  1. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
  1. Assemble the Icebox Cake:
  • In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the peanut butter filling to cover the bottom.
  • Place a layer of chocolate graham crackers over the filling, breaking them as needed to fit.
  • Spread half of the remaining peanut butter filling over the graham crackers.
  • Sprinkle half of the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups over the filling.
  • Drizzle half of the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter cups.
  • Repeat the layers: graham crackers, remaining peanut butter filling, remaining chopped Reese’s, and the remaining chocolate ganache.
  1. Chill:
  • Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to meld and the graham crackers to soften.
  1. Garnish and Serve:
  • Before serving, garnish with additional chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and chocolate shavings if desired.
  • Slice and enjoy your Peanut Butter Cup Icebox Cake!
