Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (about 15 cookies)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Mix the crushed cookies and melted butter in a bowl until combined.
- Divide the cookie mixture evenly among four small jars (about 8 ounces each) to form the base layer. Press down lightly.
- Prepare the peanut butter layer: Beat the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Spoon or pipe the peanut butter mixture evenly over the cookie crust in the four jars.
- Prepare the whipped cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently spread or pipe the whipped cream layer over the peanut butter layer in each jar.
- Chill the jars for at least 1 hour to allow them to set.
- Before serving, drizzle the melted chocolate chips over the top of the whipped cream layer in each jar.
Notes
- Use graham crackers instead of chocolate cookies for a different crust flavor.
- For easier layering, place the fillings into piping bags before adding them to the jars.
- Chill the jars for a minimum of 2 hours for the firmest texture.
