1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups milk
1 box (14.4 oz) graham crackers
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream (for glaze)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups of milk until thickened. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat 2 cups of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the prepared pudding.
- Microwave the peanut butter for 20 seconds to soften it. Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.
- Layer graham crackers over the peanut butter. Spread half of the pudding mixture on top.
- Add another layer of graham crackers, followed by the remaining pudding mixture. Finish with a final layer of graham crackers.
- For the chocolate glaze, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream until warm. Pour it over the chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Spread the glaze over the top layer.
- Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
