No-Bake Peanut Butter Icebox Cake

No-Bake Peanut Butter Icebox Cake

Our No-Bake Peanut Butter Icebox Cake is the perfect recipe to whip up during the dog days of summer. This simple no-bake recipe uses our NEW Dark Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Snack Size bars sandwiched between homemade ice cream and topped with dark chocolate. The best part is this sweet treat goes straight into the fridge (our favorite place to be) until it’s ready to be served.

Ingredients

• 3 boxes Dark Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Snack Size Perfect Bar
• 16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• ½ cup fudge sauce or ganache*
• 2-4 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
• 2-4 tablespoons roasted peanuts

Instructions

1. Line an 8×4” pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a medium mixing bowl with a hand mixer, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla until combined, about 3 minutes.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, beat cream just until firm peaks form, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the cream cheese mix to the whipped cream and mix with a hand mixer until fully combined and fluffy.
5. In prepared pan, add ¼ of cream cheese filling, then a single layer of Perfect Bars in two rows (6 Snack Size Perfect Bars) then another ¼ of the remaining cream cheese filling.
6. Repeat layers two more times, ending with cream cheese filling on top.
7. Cover and freeze 4+ hours.
8. To serve, use parchment paper to lift cake out of pan then remove paper and place on a plate. Top with a drizzle of fudge, remaining Perfect Bars, chopped, mini chocolate chips, and roasted peanuts.
9. Slice with a serrated knife and enjoy!

*For ganache: heat ½ cup heavy whipping cream until steaming, but not boiling (we used a microwave). Stir in 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted.
