Perfect for peanut butter lovers, this decadent tart features a silky filling made from whipped cream cheese, smooth peanut butter, and just the right touch of powdered sugar and vanilla. The rich, yet airy filling nests on a golden graham cracker crust, baked briefly for added sturdiness and flavor. Topped with a drizzle of melted semi-sweet chocolate, this tart offers a perfect balance of sweet and salty notes. With only 25 minutes of prep and a stunning presentation, the Peanut Butter Cream Tart is an ideal make-ahead dessert for dinner parties, holidays, or whenever your peanut butter cravings strike.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture is crumbly and resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into a 9-inch tart pan, making sure to press firmly along the base and sides.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Spread the peanut butter cream evenly over the cooled tart crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips and milk together in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the tart in a decorative pattern or zigzag lines.
Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to set before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Peanut Butter Cream Tart as a delicious and impressive dessert!
