Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a springform pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
