How to Make Whipped Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Cups
So what exactly are these sweets bites of goodness? We made a light and dreamy whipped peanut butter cream cheese filling and swirled it into a small crunchy chocolate shells (topped with chocolate chips or mini Reese’s cups). The result is the cutest little dessert cup (…tart, pie, whateva you wanna call it ;)) you have ever seen.
First, chill your bowl and beaters in the freezer. (I used a hand mixer for this dessert).
*For the Chocolate Phyllo shells, I didn’t bake mine but the package instructions say that you can if you want an extra crunchy shell. If you do this step, just make sure they are fully cooled before making the filling.
Next, combine creamy peanut butter (don’t use all natural as the consistency isn’t as good), powdered sugar, and cream cheese in the chilled bowl until well combined. Slowly add the heavy cream while increasing to high speed. Beat until fluffy (about 1-2 minutes).
Filling the little chocolate phyllo shells is much easier if you pipe them. If you have a 2D or 1M piping tip, it’s even better! I filled a disposable piping bag fitted with a 1M piping tip and filled my shells, topping each one off with a chocolate chip. I used Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips which are a little wider and flatter, but you could use regular chips or even a mini Reese’s cup.
I like to make these the day that I’m serving them as the shells will soften gradually over time.
These should be refrigerated.
