Chocolate Peanut Butter Dessert

When I want to splurge on a rich dessert, I whip up this chocolate-glazed frozen peanut butter mousse. It's so luscious, even a thin slice will satisfy. It tastes like a peanut butter cup.

10-12 ServingsPrep: 40 min. + freezing

Ingredients

1-1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
3 egg yolks
1-1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
6 tablespoons butter, softened
GLAZE:
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons butter
4 teaspoons dark corn syrup
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup coarsely chopped dry roasted peanuts

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, 1/2 cup cream and
yolks. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture reaches 160°
and is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Cover and
refrigerate for 3 hours or until thickened.
Line an 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan with plastic wrap; set aside. In a
large bowl, cream peanut butter and butter until light and fluffy.
Add brown sugar mixture; beat until smooth. In small bowl, beat
remaining cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into peanut butter
mixture. Spoon into prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Dessert (continued)

Directions (continued)

For glaze, in a large heavy saucepan, bring the cream, butter and
corn syrup to a boil, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat. Add
chocolate; whisk until smooth. Set aside 1/3 cup glaze to cool.
Place remaining glaze in a microwave-safe bowl; cover and
refrigerate overnight. Spread cooled glaze over loaf; cover and
freeze overnight.
Using plastic wrap, lift loaf out of pan. Place chocolate side down
in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan; place on a wire rack. Discard
plastic wrap.
In microwave, warm refrigerated glaze; stir until smooth. Pour over
loaf; spread with a metal spatula to completely cover top and sides.
Sprinkle with peanuts. Freeze for 1 hour or until glaze is set.
Yield: 10-12 servings.
