Ingredients

To make this decadent peanut butter ganache, you’ll need the following ingredients:

1 cup heavy cream
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your peanut butter ganache:

Begin by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir it occasionally until it comes to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for about 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Gently whisk the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. If there are any lumps, don’t worry; just keep whisking until smooth.
Add the creamy peanut butter, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Whisk until everything is well blended and you have a silky texture.
Allow the ganache to cool at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes to thicken before using it as a topping or filling for cakes, cupcakes, or pastries.
For a thicker consistency, you can refrigerate it for about an hour. Just make sure to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before using to soften it slightly.

This peanut butter ganache is not only delicious but versatile as well! Use it to frost your favorite cakes, drizzle over ice cream, or dip fruits for a tasty treat. Whichever way you decide to enjoy it, the combination of chocolate and peanut butter is bound to create a moment of bliss. Enjoy every bite!
