Crunchy Peanut Butter Pie Pops
Description
This recipe begins by beating softened cream cheese, crunchy peanut butter, and sugar until light and fluffy. Separately, heavy cream is whipped to stiff peaks and then gradually folded into the peanut butter mixture, creating a smooth and airy filling. Each popsicle mold is filled halfway, layered with a Biscoff cookie, and topped with more filling, then frozen solid for at least 12 hours.
Once frozen, the pie pops are unmolded and dipped in melted dark chocolate, which hardens into a crisp shell. Garnishing with chopped dry roasted peanuts adds extra crunch and enhances the peanut flavor profile. The final result is a handheld frozen dessert offering a combination of creamy, crunchy, and chocolate-coated layers.
This dessert needs to be kept frozen until serving and is suited for warm weather or as a special treat.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup peanut butter crunchy
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
- 16 Biscoff cookies
- 12 ounces dark chocolate chopped
- peanuts for garnish, dry roasted, chopped
Instructions
- Place cream cheese, peanut butter and sugar into a mixing bowl and beat together until light and fluffy (can use hand or stand mixer).
- In another mixing bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Stir a third of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.
- Fold remaining whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until completely combined.
- Insert popsicle stick into each mold. Fill each ice cream mold halfway with the peanut butter mixture, gently press a biscoff cookie into each mold.
- Top cookies with more peanut butter mixture until each mold is filled, scraping any excess off with an offset spatula until each mold is level.
- Place filled molds into the freezer and freezer for at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
- Once bars are frozen, unmold and place onto a sheet pan lined with parchment. Return bars to freezer until ready to use.
- In a double boiler, melt chocolate until smooth. Remove melted chocolate from heat.
- Carefully dip each peanut butter bar into the melted chocolate, shaking off any excess and place back onto the baking sheet.
- Top each bar with a sprinkle of chopped peanut butter. Place bars back into the freezer until set and ready to serve.
