Indulge in the creamy decadence of Peanut Butter Cup Ricotta Creme—a no-bake dessert that comes together in just 10 minutes! This recipe combines silky whole-milk ricotta with velvety peanut butter, sweetened by a touch of powdered sugar and elevated by fragrant vanilla extract. Whipped cream is gently folded in for an irresistibly airy texture, while mini chocolate chips and chunks of chopped peanut butter cups bring bursts of chocolatey indulgence to every bite. Finished with a pinch of sea salt for the perfect sweet-savory balance, this dessert is as simple as it is luxurious. Perfect for a quick treat or an impressive dinner party finale, it’s best served chilled for ultimate flavor harmony.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
In a separate small bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta and peanut butter mixture until fully combined and airy.
Stir in the mini chocolate chips, reserving a few for garnish, if desired.
Spoon the mixture into serving dishes or glasses, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon.
Top each serving with chopped peanut butter cups, the reserved chocolate chips, and a pinch of sea salt, if using.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld further before serving.
