cocoa, or grated chocolate, to sprinkle on top
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Refrigerate until chilled, about 10 minutes. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, whip the chocolate until smooth and fluffy.
Make the peanut butter cream:
In a medium bowl, whip remaining 3/4 cup cream to stiff peaks. Whisk in sugar. In a medium bowl, fold whipped cream into peanut butter.
