Chocolate Peanut Butter Dessert Cups are a rich, no-bake treat featuring layers of creamy peanut butter filling and smooth chocolate ganache in an easy-to-make graham or cookie crust. Perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth or for entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers or chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Chopped peanuts or mini chocolate chips for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press into the bottoms of 6 small cups or ramekins to form the crust layer. Chill while preparing filling.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together peanut butter, powdered sugar, and cream cheese until smooth.
  3. Fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy.
  4. Spoon or pipe the peanut butter filling evenly over the crust layer in each cup. Smooth the tops.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips and heavy cream together in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth to form ganache.
  6. Pour a thin layer of ganache over each peanut butter layer.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until set. Garnish with chopped peanuts or mini chocolate chips if desired.

Notes

  • Use mini muffin tins with liners to make bite-sized versions.
  • Natural peanut butter may affect texture—use regular creamy peanut butter for best results.
  • Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
