Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
  • 6 miniature peanut butter cups, halved

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).

2. Prepare Crust:

  • In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter.
  • Pat the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, ensuring an even layer.
  • Bake the crust for about 8 minutes, until it becomes firm and solid.
  • Let the crust cool completely.

3. Make Filling:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, whip the whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks.
  • Place the whipped cream in the fridge to chill until needed.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes fluffy.
  • Add the softened butter and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, continuing to beat until well combined.
  • Gradually beat in the creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Slowly add the icing sugar, beating until the filling is light and fluffy.

4. Combine Filling:

  • Retrieve the whipped cream from the fridge and fold about one-quarter of it into the peanut butter mixture to lighten it.
  • Gently fold in the remainder of the whipped cream until fully incorporated, being careful not to overmix but ensuring there are no streaks of cream remaining.

5. Assemble Pie:

  • Spread the prepared peanut butter filling evenly into the cooled crust.
  • Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 3 hours, or until the filling is firm.

6. Make Chocolate Ganache:

  • Finely chop the bittersweet chocolate and place it in a small bowl.
  • In a small pot, heat the whipping cream just until bubbles start to form around the edges.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Let the ganache cool slightly before spreading it over the chilled pie.

7. Garnish:

  • Take the halved miniature peanut butter cups and arrange them evenly around the edge of the pie, slightly tilting them to show the inside.
  • Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible, before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve slices of the Peanut Butter Pie with Chocolate Ganache chilled, straight from the refrigerator, for the best texture and flavor.
  • For an extra special touch, drizzle each slice with additional chocolate sauce or garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts.

Storage:

  • Store any leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure to tightly wrap it to prevent it from absorbing any other odors.
