Creamy Peanut Butter Ganache:
1/2cup creamy peanut butter
1/2cup heavy cream
1/2cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
Instructions
Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.
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.
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.
