Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams dark chocolate
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 120 grams smooth peanut butter
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- for garnish whipped cream
- for garnish chopped roasted peanuts
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat 120 ml (half) of the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt, then whisk until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
In a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the remaining 120 ml of heavy cream to medium peaks.
Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully combined.
Layer the dessert by spooning or piping alternating layers of the peanut butter creme and chocolate ganache into small glasses or ramekins.
Chill the filled glasses in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
Before serving, top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped roasted peanuts for garnish.
