Ingredients
Scale
- For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- For the Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- For the Chocolate Ganache Topping:
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Optional: Chopped peanuts for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set.
- Make the Ganache: Place chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until simmering. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled pie. Spread evenly.
- Optional: Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the ganache.
- Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set.
- Slice and serve chilled.
