Peanut Butter Mousse
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Ganache
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Preparation
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan to form the crust.

- For the ganache, heat 1 cup of heavy cream until just boiling. Pour it over the chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Slice and serve, enjoying the rich layers of flavors.
Notes
This dessert pairs wonderfully with fresh whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
