Equipment

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 10 nutter butter cookies
  • 10 full graham cracker sheets
  • 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter
  • 4 tbsp melted butter

For the filling:

  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream divided
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

For topping:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • cocoa powder for dusting on top!

Instructions

For the chocolate ganache:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, bring 1 cup of heavy cream to a very light simmer.
  • Remove from heat and add in the chopped chocolate. Cover with a lid for 5 minutes to let the chocolate melt.
  • After letting sit for a few minutes, whisk the cream and chocolate until smooth. Transfer to the fridge to cool.

For the crust:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add all the ingredients for the pie crust into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
  • Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of your pie plate. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to help pack it in if needed. Bake for 12 minutes.

Assembly:

  • While the crust cools, add 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 cup powdered sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whisk to form stiff peaks.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the chilled ganache.
  • Transfer the filling to the cooled peanut butter crust and set in the fridge for 4 hours to set up.
  • Before serving, make another batch of whipped cream by adding whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whip until the cream reaches soft peaks.
  • Spread the whipped cream all over the surface of the chilled pie, then finish off with an optional dusting of cocoa powder.
