Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 premade chocolate cookie crust
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Chocolate Ganache
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Garnish (optional)
- Extra chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside to maintain consistency for easy spreading.
- Make the Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning, then stir in the chocolate chips and cocoa powder until fully melted and silky smooth.
- Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chocolate cookie crust, spreading it evenly to cover the base. Carefully pour the chocolate ganache over the filling, allowing it to swirl naturally for a marbled effect.
- Chill: Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the filling and ganache to set firmly, ensuring easy slicing.
- Serve: Once set, garnish with optional chocolate shavings for added texture and presentation. Slice and serve this rich, creamy dessert to delight your guests.
Notes
- For a crunchy texture, consider adding chopped peanuts into the peanut butter filling.
- If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the powdered sugar slightly.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer ganache flavor.
- Allow the pie to come to room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
- This pie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
