Ingredients You’ll Need
For the filling:
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 package (instant) vanilla pudding mix
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 container (about 225g) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
For the layers:
- 1 box graham crackers
For the topping:
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (optional, for extra richness)
Step-by-Step Method
1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cold milk and vanilla pudding mix. Keep whisking for about 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Add the peanut butter and mix until smooth and fully combined. The mixture should become creamy and slightly thicker.
Next, gently fold in the whipped topping. Use a spatula and mix slowly to keep the texture light and airy. This creates a fluffy peanut butter cream that will form the heart of your cake.
2. Build the First Layer
Choose a rectangular baking dish (around 9×13 inches works well).
Line the bottom with a single layer of graham crackers. Break pieces if necessary to cover the entire surface evenly.
3. Add the Cream Layer
