Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Liquid and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons milk (or as needed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft a silky chocolate base by whisking powdered sugar and cocoa powder, gradually incorporating milk until a smooth, malleable consistency develops.
- Place the prepared mixture between parchment sheets and carefully roll into a precise rectangular shape, ensuring an even thickness.
- Liberally spread a layer of creamy peanut butter across the entire chocolate surface, leaving a slight margin around the edges.
- Utilize the parchment paper as a guide to tightly roll the dough into a compact cylindrical form, applying gentle, consistent pressure.
- Transfer the rolled log to the refrigerator and allow it to solidify and set for approximately 90-120 minutes, ensuring maximum structural integrity.
- Remove the chilled log from the refrigerator and slice into elegant pinwheel discs using a sharp knife, creating uniform medallions with distinct chocolate and peanut butter layers.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter, presenting a delightful no-bake treat ready for immediate enjoyment.
Notes
- Chill the parchment paper before rolling to help dough maintain shape and prevent sticking.
- For dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond milk or coconut milk for a creamy alternative.
- Control sweetness by adjusting powdered sugar quantity, ensuring balanced chocolate and peanut butter flavor profile.
- Experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew butter for unique taste variations.
