Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 (9-oz) package chocolate wafer cookies
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup store-bought hot fudge sauce, warmed
For the Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
For Serving:
- Whipped cream
- Chopped peanut butter cups
Instructions
For the Crust:
- Place the wafer cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in the microwave in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the crumbs to the melted butter in the bowl and mix until the butter has been thoroughly incorporated.
- Reserve ¼ cup of the crumbs and set aside for garnish later.
- Spoon the remaining mixture into the bottom of individual jars, small glasses, or ramekins (I did roughly 2-3 tablespoons per vessel). Alternatively, you can press them into one large pie dish.
- Spoon a couple tablespoons of the hot fudge sauce over the crumbs in each jar, spreading it out just slightly to create an even layer.
- Set aside.
For the Filling:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the salt, vanilla, and half of the powdered sugar. Mix to incorporate.
- Add the rest of the sugar and beat again for another minute or until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Beat in a splash of cream or milk.
- Spoon the mixture over top of the fudge and crumbs in each jar.
- Place the jars in the fridge for at least 1 hour so the filling can firm up.
To Serve:
- Remove the jars from the fridge and garnish with whipped cream, chopped peanut butter cups, and the reserved cookie crumbs. Serve chilled.
