  • Total Time: 360
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

16 oz cream cheese, softened
1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
1 box honey graham crackers
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Beat softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture and beat until incorporated.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until firm peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until uniform.
Arrange a layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a rectangular dish.
Spread a thin layer of the peanut butter filling over the crackers.
Repeat layering crackers and filling until ingredients are used.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours until the crackers soften and the cake sets.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Do not use natural oil-separated peanut butter as it can destabilize the mousse. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
