Peanut butter ganache is a sweet, smooth frosting with a rich nutty flavor perfect for dressing up any chocolate or peanut butter treat. Drizzle it over a cake or parfait or use it to fill macarons!
In a small pot on the stove, heat the heavy whipping cream, stirring frequently, until it starts to steam. You want the cream to be almost near a boiling point but not actually start to boil.
Once the cream is hot enough, add to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Then whisk everything together until fully combined.
Use the ganache when it is warm if you’d like a drip effect on your baked goods, or leave it in the fridge for about 2 hours to set if you’d prefer to pipe it.
This ganache takes some time to set, so if you are planning to use it as a filling it may be best to make it the day before. You may want to press a piece of plastic wrap to the top to prevent a film from forming.
