Chocolate and Peanut Butter Crumb Frozen Dessert

I love all recipes that include chocolate and peanut butter but, deep down, I really just want to eat them as they are. And so I knew that they needed to be distinct layers of chocolate mousse and peanut butter mousse with a layer of something in between. Graham cracker crust or crumbled cookies would be fine but I wanted special. Crumb cake crumbs without the cake would be special. And chocolate crumbs would be extra special.

Ingredients:

Peanut Butter Mousse:

• 2 oz. Cream cheese
• 2 oz. Prepared whipped topping
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 Cup peanut butter
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla

Chocolate Mousse:

• 1/2 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 Cup milk
• 1 oz. Cream cheese
• 1/2 Teaspoon vanilla
• 1 Tablespoon sugar
• 4 oz. Prepared whipped topping

Chocolate Crumbs:

• 1/3 Cup Sugar
• 1 1/2 Teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 Stick unsalted butter, melted
• 3/4 Cup all purpose flour
• Pinch of salt

Directions:

Make the chocolate crumbs by combining the sugar, cocoa powder, flour and salt in a bowl. Stir in the melted butter and mix together. Using your fingers, crumble the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. Stir and return to the oven for 10 additional minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Note that the crumbs will be soft at first but will harden as they cool.

While the crumbs are baking, make the peanut butter mousse by whisking together the cream cheese, whipped topping, sugar, peanut butter, vanilla and salt.

Make the chocolate mousse by placing the chips in a bowl along with a tablespoon of the milk and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and return to the microwave for an additional few seconds if needed. Stir in the remaining milk and set aside to cool slightly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and whipped topping. Fold in the chocolate mixture and combine until smooth.

To assemble the parfaits, place a heaping tablespoon of crumbs at the bottom of a dessert glass, add two tablespoons of the peanut butter mousse, another layer of crumbs and two tablespoons of the chocolate mousse. Repeat the layers and finish with a topping of the chocolate crumbs.
