Ingredients
- For the crust:
1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup of granulated sugar
½ cup of unsalted butter, melted - For the peanut butter layer:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract - For the chocolate layer:
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, whipped - Additional:

Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla, and continue beating until creamy. Spread this over the crust and chill for 30 minutes.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate and let it cool slightly. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Mix in the melted chocolate. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form and fold into the chocolate mixture. Spread this over the peanut butter layer and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Decorate the top with chocolate curls and peanut butter cups. Chill for an additional hour before slicing. Serve chilled for best flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Chilling times are important for proper layering and texture.
