Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Peanut butter, creamy
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Chocolate chips, semi-sweet
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture, and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.
Spoon the peanut butter filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer (do not boil).
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth to create the ganache.
Pour the ganache over the peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the ganache for a sweet-salty touch.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until set (preferably overnight for the best texture).
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your decadent Peanut Butter Oh My Pie!
