Ingredients

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 Tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Instructions

  • Add chocolate chips and peanut butter to a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the cream until hot but not yet simmering.
  • Pour the heated cream over the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Let sit without stirring for 5 minutes, then gently whisk the mixture until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours until well chilled.
  • Once the cream mixture is chilled, remove the bowl from the fridge and add the confectioners' sugar. Using a handheld electric mixer, whip the mixture on low speed until fluffy and a bit lighter in color. Be careful not to over-whip the mixture; it should be smooth and fluffy but thick, and over-whipping will cause it to become lumpy. Use immediately.

Notes

Storage: Like all whipped cream, chocolate peanut butter whipped cream is best served immediately. However, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. You may want to re-whip the chilled whipped cream before serving.
