• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 2 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 block softened cream cheese

1/3 cup dark brown sugar

1 cup peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups homemade whipped cream

Toppings: peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, reese's pieces

Dippers: oreo thins, vanilla wafers, graham crackers, ritz crackers, nutter butter, apples, etc.

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, cold

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a large bowl, blend cream cheese and brown sugar together using a hand mixer. Once it's smooth and creamy, blend in peanut butter and vanilla extract. The texture will not be a bit thicker.

Fold in prepared homemade whipped cream (or Cool Whip if you prefer). It's important to fold in the whipped cream in increments by hand with a silicone spatula to avoid it deflating.

Place the peanut butter cheesecake dip into a serving bowl and decorate the top with your toppings of choice and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve on a serving plate with the dippers.
