I am looking for a good chicken breast marinade … want to grill chicken breasts for a group of about 14 people and looking for “something different”.
rich version…..I don’t measure and have not made it for a couple months but here is a rough version.
Graham crust
Bottom Layer:
Peanut butter whipped with mascarpone (Italian cream cheese) and powdered sugar.
Top Layer
Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread in most local grocery stores)….the whole jar and mascarpone, again whipped with a mixer until fluffy……
I’ve roasted and chopped peanuts for garnishing.
Cream cheese can be substituted but there is a big difference in light smooth creaminess.
Another way to go about it is to have a baked off graham crust, put a layer of fudge sauce (store bought or homemade…..fudge not chocolate) and spread a layer on the crust. You can add a glug of Kahula to the fudge sauce if desired.
Whip the peanut butter, I’d use smooth for this…..powdered sugar just to get a sweetness and then the mascarpone (be generous with mascarpone)…..
spread over the fudge layer and refrig. Can be topped with whipped cream.
Small wedge will go a long way.
