Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package (14 oz) chocolate wafer cookies

Prepare the Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until well combined.
Layer the Cookies: On a serving platter, arrange a layer of chocolate wafer cookies, slightly overlapping them.
Add the Filling: Spread a layer of the peanut butter cream mixture over the cookies. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of the cream on top.
