Ingredients

• 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 16 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream, cold
• 1 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream (for chocolate ganache)
• 0.75 cups Salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
• 0.5 cups Ice cream cone pieces (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks using a hand or stand mixer. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

Step 5

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Return the dish to the refrigerator to set, about 20 minutes.

Step 6

For the chocolate ganache, heat 0.5 cups of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and pour over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 7

Allow the ganache to cool slightly, then pour it evenly over the cream cheese layer. Use a spatula to spread it out if necessary.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped salted peanuts evenly over the ganache layer. If desired, sprinkle the top with crumbled ice cream cone pieces for added texture and decoration.

Step 9

Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 2-3 hours or until fully set.

Step 10

Once set, slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy this decadent drumstick-inspired dessert!
