Ingredients

Units Scale

Creamy Peanut Butter Ganache:

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Remove from heat and immediately add the chocolate chips, peanut butter, butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Let sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
  3. Blend: Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Let the ganache cool slightly before using as a glaze, frosting, or filling. It will thicken as it cools.

Notes

  • For a thinner glaze, add an extra tablespoon or two of warm cream.
  • For a firmer frosting-like consistency, chill the ganache for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.
