Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 85 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 240 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 360 ml Heavy cream
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 ml Water
- 40 grams Unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 80 grams Roasted peanuts (roughly chopped)
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
For the crust, place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse again until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
To make the peanut butter filling, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled tart crust.
For the chocolate ganache, heat 240 ml of heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour it over the chopped dark chocolate in a bowl. Let sit for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly. Place the tart in the refrigerator to set for at least 1 hour.
While the tart sets, prepare the caramel peanut glaze. Combine the granulated sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep amber color, swirling the pan occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully whisk in the remaining 120 ml of heavy cream, followed by the room-temperature unsalted butter. Stir until smooth.
Stir in the chopped peanuts and a pinch of salt. Let the caramel cool slightly but not completely before pouring it over the chocolate ganache layer. Spread gently to create an even glaze.
Refrigerate the tart for an additional 20-30 minutes to set the caramel glaze.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your decadent Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart with Caramel Peanut Glaze!
