Indulge in the ultimate delight with this scrumptious Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie! The perfect harmony of rich chocolate, velvety peanut butter, and a decadent cookie crust that’ll make your taste buds dance.
Ingredients:
• For the Chocolate Cookie Crust:
• 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup sugar
• For the Peanut Butter Cream Filling:
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
• For the Chocolate Ganache Topping:
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
. In a bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar for the crust. Press the mixture into a pie dish, forming an even layer on the bottom and sides. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
. For the peanut butter cream filling, beat together the peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.
. Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled chocolate cookie crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
. For the chocolate ganache topping, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it simmers. Pour it over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl, let it sit for a minute, and then stir until smooth. Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the chilled pie.
. Refrigerate the pie for an additional hour to let the ganache set.
. Slice and savor the divine layers of chocolate and peanut butter goodness!
