Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams graham crackers
- 100 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 225 grams cream cheese, softened
- 180 grams smooth peanut butter
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 200 grams dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl.
Add the melted butter and granulated sugar to the graham cracker crumbs and mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a tart pan with a removable base (approximately 9 inches in diameter).
Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let the crust cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled tart crust and chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the chocolate topping.
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer (do not let it boil).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until completely melted and smooth.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly to cover.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the ganache for added flavor, if desired.
Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate is set.
Remove from the tart pan, slice, and serve.
