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
- Extra chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set this mixture aside while preparing the ganache.
- Make the Ganache: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer, but do not let it boil. Remove the pan from heat immediately. Add the chocolate chips and unsweetened cocoa powder to the hot cream, stirring continuously until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling evenly into the premade chocolate cookie crust, spreading it out to cover the base completely. Pour the warm chocolate ganache over the peanut butter layer. Use a knife or spatula to gently swirl the ganache with the filling to create a marbled effect.
- Chill: Carefully place the assembled pie into the refrigerator. Allow it to chill and set for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to slice easily.
- Serve: Once the pie is fully set, optionally garnish the top with extra chocolate shavings for added texture and decoration. Slice and serve this rich, creamy dessert to enjoy the perfect blend of chocolate and peanut butter flavors.
Notes
- This pie is best served chilled, so make sure to allow sufficient time for setting in the refrigerator.
- You can substitute creamy peanut butter with natural peanut butter, but the texture may be slightly different.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure your premade chocolate cookie crust is labeled gluten-free.
- If you want a firmer ganache, use a higher percentage of chocolate chips or let the mixture cool slightly before pouring.
- Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
