CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PARFAITS

this is some of the best parfaits there is my family and friends love them

Provided by Patsy Fowler

Categories     Other Desserts

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

graham crackers, crushed
1 c peanut butter
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
4 Tbsp powdered sugar
8 oz whipped topping
12 oz milk chocolate chips
1/2 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the peanut butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Mix together until combined into a thick muddy mess.
  • 2. Stir in the whipped topping. You can save a little to use on top. I saved about a cup of whipped topping to use as garnish.
  • 3. In a separate bowl add the milk and chocolate chips. Microwave in 30 second intervals stirring after each cycle until it's melted.
  • 4. It's time to assemble. You can use a pie plate, glass pan, small bowls, etc. I used 4 stemless glasses. Start with a layer of crumbled graham crackers.
  • 5. Then add some of the peanut butter mixture. Then chocolate ganache. Then some whipped topping if you want.
  • 6. Then keep going with the crumbled graham crackers, peanut butter mixture and chocolate ganache until you run out of peanut butter filling.
  • 7. Top with the whipped topping and a graham cracker. I think crumbled peanut butter cups would look yummy on top. Then you are done.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • If you don't have peanut butter cups, you can use chopped peanuts or another type of nut butter.
  • To make the parfaits ahead of time, assemble them and then store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just be sure to add the whipped cream just before serving.
  • For a healthier version, use Greek yogurt instead of whipped cream.
  • Garnish the parfaits with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or chopped nuts for a festive touch.

Conclusion:

Chocolate peanut parfaits are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a treat that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying dessert, give chocolate peanut parfaits a try.
