Chocolate Peanut Butter Love Cake

Here's a cool and creamy treat that's sweet yet not too heavy, 
with all the favorite goodies.

 
Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream
½ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
20 Oreos or similar cookies
2 Reeses Cups or similar candy

Mix together ¼ cup of the whipping cream and all of the peanut butter until smooth.

In another bowl, beat the rest of the whipping cream together with the powdered sugar and vanilla until the mixture is puffed up and forms little ripples.  Combine this with the peanut butter mixture, adding a bit at a time.

Separate the Oreos just like you did when you were a kid.  Lay them out along the bottom of an 8"x8"x2" pan.  (For nice presentation, it's best if you have a springform pan or a recyclable one that you don't mind ruining, so you can cut the sides off when it's cooled.)

Spread about half of the whipped mixture evenly over the cookies.  Repeat with another layer of cookies, and another one of the whipped mixture.  For the top, break the remaining cookies into small pieces and line the border with them.  Sprinkle finer crumbs over the rest of the cake.  Cut up the Reeses Cups into small pieces as well and add them to the border.

Refrigerate for at least 5 hours.  To serve, remove the edges of the pan and leave it as it is or transfer it to another serving platter.
