Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I like to start by preparing my peanut butter layer. In a mixing bowl, I combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar, blending them until it creates a smooth consistency that fills the kitchen with that warm, nutty aroma. Then, I whip the heavy cream in another bowl until soft peaks form, and gently fold this into the peanut butter mixture until well combined. This is such an amazing step, as the blend of textures already begins to shine through! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
