Ingredients
- 56 (4 sleeves fresh stacks) Ritz crackers
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups heavy cream, divided
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp. powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Pinch salt
- 10 dark chocolate peanut butter cups, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a half sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray. (A half sheet pan should be 9x12)
- Add graham crackers and sugar to the bottom of a food processor. Pulse until graham crackers are crumbs. Add melted butter and pulse until combined.
- Pour crust in to prepared pan and evenly spread them on the bottom. Use a measuring cup to press the crust firmly into the pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely.
- While the crust cools, make the filling and the chocolate ganache. Add 1/2 cup heavy cream to a small saucepan. Turn the flame on medium and heat until scalding hot. Turn the heat off and add chocoalte chips. Whisk until chocolate is melted. Set aside to cool.
- Add remaining cream to the bottom of a stand mixer. Use the whisk attachment and beat on a medium-high speed until medium peaks form. Transfer to another bowl.
- Add cream cheese, peanut butter, all but 2 tablespoons of the powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla to the stand mixer. Switch the whisk attachment for the paddle attachment. Beat the mixture on a medium speed until combined. Add half of the whipped cream and mix on a low speed until combined. Do not overmix or you will deflate the whipped cream.
- Once the crust has cooled, pour chocolate on bottom. Place in the freezer for a few minutes to solidify. After it's hardened, remove and spread peanut butter mixture on top.
- Add remaining powdered sugar to whipped cream. Gently fold in. Spread whipped cream on top of peanut butter mixture. Sprinkle chopped peanut butter cups on top.
