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.
