All you need is heavy cream, powdered sugar, and peanut butter to make this sweet treat. Throw it all in a bowl and beat it with your mixer until it's whipped cream. You can also easily adjust the measurements to suit your taste if you want a more peanut-y flavor or less sweetness. And you can make more whipped cream by just using more heavy cream.

I made some chocolate-fudge cupcakes to put my whipped cream on and even added a dollop of cookie dough that I had in my fridge to the centers of the cupcakes. I topped them off with the whipped cream and some chocolate chips, and I had the most decadent little treat! The whipped cream doesn't last long, though, so make sure you use it and eat it right away. It'll hold in the fridge for a day or two, but that's about it, so you better dig in. Get the detailed recipe ahead and top your fave dessert with this whipped cream!
