Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.5 cups powdered sugar
For the Filling
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar to form the base of your casserole.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat together the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
  3. Whip the heavy cream in another bowl until stiff peaks form to give your casserole that heavenly lightness.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until well combined to create the creamy filling.
  5. In a 9x13 inch dish, layer half of the graham cracker mixture, followed by half of the peanut butter mixture, and sprinkle chocolate chips over this layer.
  6. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with the remaining graham cracker mixture on top.
  7. Lightly drizzle milk over the top to soften the crust and add extra flavor.
  8. Refrigerate the casserole for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving to allow flavors to meld and set.

Notes

For best results, avoid over-mixing the whipped cream into the peanut butter. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze for up to three months.
