Ingredients
- For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream (whipped)
- For the Assembly:
- 1 box (14.4 oz) graham crackers
- 1 cup chocolate syrup (for drizzling)
- Chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Whip the Cream:
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined, being gentle to maintain the light texture.
- Layer the Icebox Cake:
- In a 9×13-inch baking dish, start by spreading a thin layer of the peanut butter filling on the bottom.
- Place a layer of graham crackers over the peanut butter filling, breaking them if necessary to fit.
- Repeat the process, layering peanut butter filling and graham crackers, until you reach the top. Finish with a layer of peanut butter filling.
- Chill the Cake:
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor and texture. This allows the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Serve:
- Once chilled, slice the cake into squares. Drizzle chocolate syrup over each piece and sprinkle with chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings if desired. Enjoy your delicious No Bake Peanut Butter Icebox Cake!
