- In a small saucepan, heat the cream until very warm but not yet simmering.1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Pour the heated cream over the chocolate and peanut butter. Let sit without stirring for 5 minutes, then gently stir 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 an electric hand 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.2 Tablespoons confectioners' sugar
