Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Crushed graham crackers
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner and press it down firmly to form a base.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined. Try not to deflate the whipped cream.
Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the peanut butter cream mixture over the graham cracker crust in each cupcake liner, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Place the muffin tin in the freezer and allow the cups to firm up for about 1 hour.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the frozen cups from the freezer and spoon a thin layer of melted chocolate over each one, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
Return the muffin tin to the freezer for another 15 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once ready, remove the Frozen Peanut Butter Cream Cups from the liners and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
