3/4 cup heavy cream

For the Peanut Butter Cream

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

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.
