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
Chocolate Ganache
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
Garnish (Optional)
- Extra chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, then set it aside.
- Make the Ganache: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat immediately and add the chocolate chips and cocoa powder. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy.
- Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling evenly into the premade chocolate cookie crust. Pour the prepared chocolate ganache over the peanut butter filling carefully, allowing it to create natural swirls for a beautiful marbled effect.
- Chill: Transfer the assembled pie to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours. This allows the filling and ganache to set firmly, ensuring easy slicing and perfect texture.
- Serve: Once well chilled and set, optionally garnish the pie with extra chocolate shavings. Slice and serve to enjoy a rich and creamy chocolate peanut butter dessert experience.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth filling; crunchy peanut butter may affect texture.
- Make sure the heavy cream does not boil, only simmer gently to prevent burning.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate chips.
- Chilling time can be extended up to 4 hours if needed for a firmer set.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
