Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Chocolate cookie crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the whipped topping gently until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the light and fluffy texture.
Spoon the peanut butter mixture into the chilled crust, spreading it out evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam but does not boil. Remove from heat and pour over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
Allow the chocolate and cream to sit undisturbed for about 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy to create a ganache.
Pour the ganache over the peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly with a spatula or knife.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream, chopped peanuts, or additional chocolate shavings.
