Ingredients

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Mixture

150 grams milk chocolate

120 grams peanut butter

160 grams heavy cream (hot)

Whipped Cream

350 grams heavy cream (cold)

Instructions

Step 1

Melt the Chocolate

Begin by **melting the milk chocolate** in a microwave or over a double boiler. Make sure to stir it well until it is smooth and completely melted, ensuring there are no lumps.

Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from heat and **stir in the peanut butter**. Combine them thoroughly until you achieve a **smooth emulsion**.

Combine with Heavy Cream

Next, slowly pour the **hot heavy cream** into the chocolate and peanut butter mixture. Stir constantly to fully incorporate the cream, creating a rich and creamy base for your mousse.

Chill and Whip

After mixing, place the mixture in the **refrigerator for at least 3 hours**. This chilling time allows it to set properly.

Once chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and **whip the cold heavy cream** until it forms soft peaks.

Fold and Serve

Gently fold the **whipped cream** into the chocolate mixture using a spatula. Be cautious to keep it light and airy.

Once well combined, it’s ready to **spread on your rolls** or serve in cups. Enjoy your delicious creation!

Servings

When it's time to enjoy your Peanut Butter Chocolate Rolls, there are countless ways to serve them. For a simple yet **elegant** touch, slice the rolls into **even rounds** and arrange them on a platter. Add a drizzle of melted chocolate on top for an **extra indulgent** finish! 😋

Consider pairing the rolls with a scoop of **vanilla ice cream** or a dollop of **whipped cream** for that dreamy dessert combo. You could also garnish with **crushed peanuts** or a sprinkle of sea salt to elevate the flavor even more. 🌰

Variations

If you’re looking to shake things up a bit or cater to different diets, we’ve got you covered! For a **gluten-free** version, simply ensure that all your ingredients, especially the chocolate, are certified gluten-free. Substituting the regular chocolate with a vegan variant can additionally make this recipe **vegan-friendly**! 🌱

For a completely **vegan version**, swap the milk chocolate with a non-dairy chocolate and use coconut cream instead of conventional cream. This way, you can relish in the same rich flavors while keeping it plant-based! 🌍

Faq

What can I do if my chocolate isn't melting smoothly?
If your chocolate is not melting smoothly, try reducing the heat or using a double boiler. Stirring continuously can also help achieve a smooth texture.
How can I prevent my mixture from curdling?
To prevent curdling, add the hot cream slowly to the chocolate mixture and whisk continuously until well combined. This gradual addition helps temper the ingredients.
How do I know when my rolls are set in the fridge?
Your rolls are set when they are firm to the touch and the mixture holds its shape. Typically, chilling for at least 3 hours should be sufficient.
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare them a day in advance and keep them covered in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve. Just whip them up a little before serving for that fresh texture!
What's the best way to store the rolls?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for about 3-5 days. Just be sure to sit them at room temperature for a few minutes before serving, to soften up!
Can I freeze these Peanut Butter Chocolate Rolls?
Yes! These rolls can be frozen for up to 2 months. For best results, slice and wrap individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe container.
