    Ingredients

    • For the Chocolate Cream

      • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
      • 3/4 cup heavy cream

    • For the Peanut Butter Cream

      • 3/4 cup heavy cream
      • 2 tablespoons sugar
      • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

    Directions

    1. Make the Chocolate Cream: Place chocolate chips in a metal bowl. Heat cream in a small saucepan until it bubbles around edges. Pour cream over chips, let stand 5 minutes; stir until smooth. Refrigerate until chilled, about 10 minutes. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, whip the chocolate until smooth and fluffy.
    2. Make the Peanut-Butter Cream: In a medium bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks. Whisk in sugar. In a medium bowl, fold whipped cream into peanut butter.
    3. To assemble: Divide peanut-butter cream equally among four juice glasses; top each with chocolate cream and peanuts. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill until ready to serve.

      I am lactose intolerant and am wondering if there is something that I can substitute for the cream in this recipe? Thanks for the help.
