Its the kind of dessert that makes people think you spent way more time on it than you actually did
The texture is absolutely cloud-like and the peanut butter flavor sings without being overwhelming

02 -

I once used crunchy peanut butter thinking it would add texture, but the peanut pieces settled weirdly and made the whole thing feel gritty—stick to creamy
Letting the Cool Whip thaw completely in the fridge instead of on the counter makes a huge difference in final consistency

03 -

Room temperature ingredients incorporate so much more smoothly—pull the peanut butter out about 20 minutes before you start
A rubber spatula gives you more control than a metal spoon when folding in the Cool Whip
