Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the peanut butter until fully incorporated into the whipped cream mixture.
- On a serving platter or in a loaf pan, start layering the chocolate wafers or chocolate graham crackers and the peanut butter whipped cream mixture.
- Repeat the layers until you’ve used up all of your ingredients, ending with a layer of the peanut butter mixture on top.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cake to set and the flavors to meld.
