Description
A no-bake layered dessert combining chocolate cake, creamy peanut butter filling, and silky chocolate ganache. Decadent, refreshing, and perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
300 g chocolate cake or brownie
250 g Maria or Digestive cookies
200 g creamy peanut butter
400 ml whipping cream
200 g cream cheese
120 g icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
200 g dark or milk chocolate
100 ml liquid cream
Mini peanut butter chocolates (Reese’s) for decoration
Instructions
Whip cream cheese with vanilla and icing sugar until smooth. Add peanut butter and mix well. Gently fold in whipped cream until fluffy.
Place a layer of chocolate cake or brownie in the base of the dish. Add a layer of lightly moistened cookies (optional).
Spread the peanut butter cream over the base. Repeat layers (cake/cookies → cream) until the dish is filled.
Heat liquid cream and pour over chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth, then pour ganache over the dessert.
Top with mini peanut butter chocolates and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to set.
Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese for smooth blending.
Chill mixing bowl and beaters for better whipped cream volume.
Freeze for 1 hour before serving for a firmer texture.
Press layers gently for even distribution.
Drizzle extra peanut butter between layers for richness.
Substitute gluten-free cake/cookies or sunflower seed butter for dietary needs.
