How to Make the Best Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Lasagna Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Lasagna: Chocolate graham crackers, peanut butter, cream cheese, Reese’s cups, milk chocolate chips. heavy cream, salted peanuts, vanilla extract, whipped topping (i.e. Cool Whip or similar) and powdered sugar.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: A stand mixer or a hand mixer, measuring cups and spoons, nut chopper or sharp knife and cutting board, 13 x 9 inch deep baking dish or lasagna pan, rubber spatula, large bowl and small bowl.
• If you prefer, you can melt the chocolate chips to make the chocolate drizzle in a double boiler instead of the microwave.
• You could swap out milk chocolate chips for semi sweet chocolate chips in the same amount.
• Would you like to add more chocolate drizzle or more Reese’s cups? Go for it!
• For this dessert, Cool Whip or a similar private label brand of frozen whipped will work best for the filling. While I love homemade whipped cream, it’s not as stable as whipped topping. It just doesn’t work the best in this instance.
• When whipping the filling, make sure you whip until the cream cheese is completely smooth.
• You could use crunchy peanut butter if that’s your preference, but it’s not necessary. The chopped peanuts will add texture and a slight crunch to the filling ingredients.
• The best brand of peanut butter to use is one that you already enjoy.
• Please note: The chocolate graham crackers will soften as the ingredients in the dessert come together while chilling. This is a normal occurrence just as they do when making eclair cake using classic graham crackers. It’s not an indication that anything went wrong.
• Storage: You can store Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Lasagna covered and chilled in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
