Peanut Butter Lush With Graham Cracker Crust

Peanut Butter Lush With Graham Cracker Crust is a dessert recipe that will have guests asking for more.

The men went to the Wild Beast Feast again so I made the Peanut Butter Lush dessert for them to take. It is the highlight of Cade’s year. What is the Wild Beast Feast you ask? It is a men’s fellowship at our church. Cade thinks it is the best thing in world because they put up stuffed animals such as deer or birds.

Cora loves it because we get a girl time while the boys are gone. Chick Fil A, Hobby Lobby and Kohl’s: winning combination.

I signed up to bring a dessert and a vegetable to the feast and I was trying to figure out what to make. The vegetable was easy, because in honor of Cade, I threw frozen corn in a crock pot. (Corn is his favorite.)

Helping his dad on our deck. Dressed for the feast already!

The peanut butter lush came about as I enjoy trying new recipes. Sometimes that isn’t a good idea when I need to take the dessert places and it doesn’t work out. So, I do (most of the time) only try recipes that already have a winning combination, like peanut butter and cream cheese. Now you tell me: what can go wrong with peanut butter and cream cheese?

[Tweet “What can go wrong with peanut butter and cream cheese? Nothing. This recipe is proof.”]

Nada, I say.

Of course, I can’t dismiss the graham cracker crust. It adds such a great flavor to the whole recipe. Every ingredient blended perfectly. The only problem? I could only taste what was left in the bowl, not an actual piece.

Oh well. I guess I get to make it again. 🙂

It is a lot like the popular Lemon Lush if you have ever had that before. You can freeze this recipe so the dessert is a firmer texture or you can simply refrigerate it. Either way, it will be enjoyed!
