Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy whipping cream (for ganache)
- 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the crust. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
2. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. In a separate bowl, whip 1.25 cups of heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined and no streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
5. Spoon the peanut butter mousse into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top. Place the pie in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours to firm up.
6. While the pie chills, make the chocolate ganache. Heat 0.5 cups of heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and immediately pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Allow the ganache to cool slightly before using.
7. Once the pie has set, pour the cooled ganache over the peanut butter mousse layer, spreading it evenly. Return the pie to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to allow the ganache to firm up.
8. If desired, garnish the pie with chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings before serving.
9. Slice and enjoy your decadent Peanut Butter and Chocolate Mousse Pie!
