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, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Set this mixture aside to use as the pie’s filling.
- Make the Ganache: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips and cocoa powder until fully melted and smooth, creating a rich chocolate ganache.
- Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling evenly into the chocolate cookie crust. Then pour the warm chocolate ganache over the filling, using a knife or skewer to gently swirl the two layers together for a beautiful marbled effect.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the filling and ganache to set properly before serving.
- Serve: Once chilled and firm, garnish the pie with extra chocolate shavings if desired. Slice and enjoy this decadent and creamy chocolate and peanut butter dessert.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth filling; crunchy peanut butter will change the texture.
- To make the ganache extra glossy, let it cool slightly before pouring over the filling.
- Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream, but the ganache may be less rich.
- You can make the pie up to one day in advance for convenience.
