Fluffernutter Dessert Cups
I think I’ve mentioned before that my mom isn’t much of a baker. Wasn’t when I was a kid and definitely isn’t now. However, she would make us “sweet treats” that didn’t require baking or measuring or recipes. She would make us fluffernutters but wouldn’t use bread. She would instead make them with Ritz crackers. I can’t tell you enough how much I still die for these little sandwiches. The combo of all three things together is out of this world good. Since it’s been so hot lately, and the last thing we need to do right now is turn on the oven for something sweet, I wanted to create a dessert that was reminiscent of those sandwiches my mom would make use. These Fluffernutter Dessert Cups are decadent and the perfect no-bake summer treat.
Next time you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to turn on the oven, I hope you’ll give these Fluffernutter Dessert Cups a try. They’re really good. And although they’re a bit decadent. You can totally make them into smaller servings, if that’s more your jam. Be sure to let me know what you think below and thank you so much for reading and following along.
Fluffernutter Dessert Cups
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Stand or hand mixer
- 6 small serving cups
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream divided
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff or 6 large marshmallows
- 15 Ritz crackers
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and peanut butter until creamy and smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the powdered sugar, vanilla and salt until well combined. Add 1 cup of heavy cream and beat on high until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Divide the mixture between six small cups or ramekins. Top the center of each cup with marshmallow fluff or push in a large marshmallow into the center. Top each with a Ritz cracker and set aside.
- Heat the heavy cream in the microwave or in a small skillet until just barely simmering. Pour into a bowl with the chocolate chips and allow to sit for 5 minutes before stirring until smooth and melted through. Divide the ganache among each dessert cup and spread out evenly. Top with crushed Ritz crackers and chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!
