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

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well blended. Set this peanut butter filling aside for assembly.
  2. Make the Ganache: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer—avoid boiling. Remove the saucepan from the heat, then immediately add the chocolate chips and unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips melt completely and the ganache is smooth and glossy.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Evenly spoon the peanut butter filling into the premade chocolate cookie crust. Spread it gently to cover the entire base. Next, pour the prepared chocolate ganache over the peanut butter layer, allowing it to swirl naturally to create a marbled effect.
  4. Chill the Pie: Transfer the assembled pie to the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the filling and ganache are firmly set and chilled.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Once the pie is fully set, optionally garnish the top with chocolate shavings for an elegant touch. Slice into desired portions and serve chilled to enjoy the rich peanut butter and chocolate combination.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture; crunchy peanut butter may alter the smoothness.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pie, increase powdered sugar by 1-2 tablespoons.
  • Allow the pie to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
