Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 premade chocolate cookie crust
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Chocolate Ganache
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Garnish (optional)
- Extra chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Set this filling aside to use later.
- Make the Ganache: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Immediately remove it from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips and unsweetened cocoa powder. Keep stirring until the mixture is silky smooth and fully combined.
- Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the premade chocolate cookie crust, spreading it evenly to cover the base. Then pour the warm chocolate ganache over the peanut butter filling. Gently swirl the ganache into the peanut butter for a marbled effect.
- Chill: Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the filling and ganache to set properly.
- Serve: Once the pie is fully set, optionally garnish with chocolate shavings for extra texture and visual appeal. Slice and serve chilled for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Use a creamy peanut butter for the smoothest filling texture.
- Ensure the heavy cream is hot but not boiling to avoid burning the ganache.
- Allow enough chilling time for the pie to set firmly.
- This pie is best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a crunchy topping, sprinkle chopped peanuts along with the chocolate shavings.
