Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base:
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) coconut oil
Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Coating/Garnish:
(none)
Instructions
- Combine powdered sugar, peanut butter, and softened butter in a mixing bowl, blending until a cohesive and silky texture forms.
- Place the mixture between two parchment paper sheets and carefully roll into a uniform thin rectangle, ensuring even thickness.
- Microwave chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth and glossy.
- Gently spread the melted chocolate across the entire surface of the peanut butter layer, creating an even, consistent coating.
- Using the parchment paper as a guide, carefully roll the sheet into a compact, tight log, pressing gently to ensure a secure seal.
- Transfer the rolled log to the refrigerator and chill for approximately 90 minutes, or until the pinwheel becomes firm and maintains its shape.
- Remove from refrigerator and slice into uniform rounds, revealing the beautiful chocolate and peanut butter swirl pattern.
- Arrange pinwheels on a serving plate and enjoy the cool, creamy treat immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Ensure butter and peanut butter are at room temperature for smooth, easy mixing without lumps.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for richer, more decadent flavor and smoother melting.
- Chill the log longer for cleaner, more precise pinwheel slices that hold their shape perfectly.
- Substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version suitable for allergies.
