Description
A rich and creamy chocolate peanut butter pie with a cookie crust, topped with ganache and peanuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14.3 oz package) chocolate sandwich cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces whipped cream, homemade or store-bought, plus more for garnish
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup salted peanuts, chopped
- Mini peanut butter cups, for garnish
Instructions
- Place cookies and melted butter in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Pulse until finely ground and combined.
- Press the crumbs into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Freeze crust while you mix the peanut butter filling, at least 10 minutes, until set.
- Combine peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on low until smooth and creamy. Fold in whipped cream in batches until well combined.
- Transfer filling into chilled crust, evenly smoothing the top with a spatula. Chill or freeze to set, 30-60 minutes.
- Add chocolate chips to a large heatproof bowl. Place heavy cream in a microwaveable bowl and heat 40-60 seconds until it reaches 115 degrees F. Pour warm cream over chocolate chips and allow to sit for 5 minutes, then whisk gently until smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the peanut butter layer, then sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour until ready to serve.
- Pipe whipped cream on the outer edge and garnish with peanut butter cups if desired.
Notes
- Use a springform pan for easy removal.
- Chill the pie thoroughly before serving for best texture.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
