Peanut Butter Icebox Cake

Olivia Daly
The most simple but delicious no bake peanut butter icebox cake that looks super fancy with the layers of cream and crackers but is insanely easy to whip up. Plus you can keep it in the fridge or freezer, whichever has more space!

Ingredients
  

  • 16 full length graham crackers (32 squares) gluten free if needed
  • 3 cups (660g) whipping cream
  • 1/2 cups (70g) icing sugar
  • 2/3 cup (150g) peanut butter (not a runny one)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 130g semi sweet or dark chocolate
  • 1/3 cup (75g) whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Line or spray an 8x8 pan or dish that's freezer safe if you plan to freeze the cake.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, add the 3 cups whipping cream. Whisk for about 2 minutes until soft peaks form. (You should be able to see track marks in the cream) Add the sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla extract and continue to whisk until the mixture becomes stiffer and fluffier. About another 2-3 minutes
  • Place the graham crackers in the pan and repeat until the bottom is covered as best you can. You might need to break some crackers in half or quarters to fill big gaps. Small gaps are fine.
  • Spread 1/3 of the cream mixture over top of the cookies using a spatula. Get it as flat as you can. Now do another layer of crackers. Continue to add more layers of cream and crackers, alternating each time and finishing with graham crackers. You should end up with 4 layers of crackers and 3 layers of cream.
  • Add your chocolate and 1/3 cup whipping cream to a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 20 second increments, stirring each time until fully melted and combined. Pour it on top of the last layer of graham crackers and spread it as evenly as you can. Chill in the fridge or freezer for at least 4 hours before serving.
