Ingredients
Scale
Crust: 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 200 g) or chocolate graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
Filling: 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
Ganache topping: 6 oz semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
Optional: flaky sea salt or chopped peanuts for garnish
Optional garnishes: Whipped cream, extra peanut butter drizzle, chocolate shavings
Instructions
Make the crust: In a bowl, mix the cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar (if using) until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, going up the sides a bit for a sturdy base. Refrigerate 15–20 minutes to set.
Prepare the filling: In a mixer or with a sturdy whisk, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes. Scrape the sides as needed so no lumps remain.
Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whisk or beat the cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in batches until fully incorporated and fluffy.
Assemble: Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best slicing and flavor.
Make the ganache: Heat the 1/2 cup cream just to a gentle simmer, pour over the chopped chocolate, and let it sit 2 minutes. Whisk until glossy and smooth. Allow to cool slightly, then pour or drizzle over the set pie. Return to the fridge until the ganache firms a bit, about 15–30 minutes. Garnish as desired.
