Ingredients
Scale
- For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- For the Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Make the Ganache: Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a saucepan, heat heavy cream until just simmering. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the ganache over the chilled pie and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set.
- Slice and serve chilled.
