How to Make It Your Own
There’s room to play around with this Peanut Butter White Russian Recipe. If you’re a peanut butter lover like me, try adding a touch of peanut butter directly to the drink before stirring. You can even get creative with the garnish—crushed peanuts, a peanut butter drizzle, or even chocolate shavings work great.
For those looking to lighten things up, swapping out heavy cream for milk or even a plant-based milk like almond or oat milk still gives you that creamy texture without all the calories. Another fun variation is adding a drizzle of chocolate syrup for a peanut butter cup vibe.
Pairing It with Desserts
This drink is practically a dessert on its own, but if you’re looking to take things to the next level, serve it alongside a slice of chocolate cake or peanut butter cookies. The creamy and nutty notes in the cocktail pair perfectly with rich, sweet treats, making it an ideal after-dinner drink.
