Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150g) chocolate cookie crumbs (Oreos or chocolate graham crackers)
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter (natural preferred)
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, cold
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
- Optional: chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly and evenly into bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Smooth with bottom of a glass. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes.
- Prepare the peanut butter filling: Beat softened cream cheese with peanut butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until combined. Whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks in a separate bowl. Gently fold whipped cream into peanut butter mixture. Spread filling evenly over chilled crust and smooth top. Refrigerate while making ganache.
- Make the chocolate ganache topping: Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy. Cool slightly, then pour evenly over peanut butter filling. Smooth top if needed. Refrigerate pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Notes
Soften cream cheese completely before mixing to avoid lumps. Chill bowl and whisk for better whipped cream volume. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Let pie set at least 4 hours or overnight for best slicing. For gluten-free, use gluten-free cookie crumbs. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese.
