Ingredients

Cookie Crust

  • Crushed chocolate or chocolate chip cookies – about 1 1/2 cups
  • Melted butter – 5 tbsp

Peanut Butter Filling

  • Creamy peanut butter – 1 cup (room temperature)
  • Sugar (granulated or powdered) – 1/4 cup
  • Heavy cream – 1 cup (for whipping)
  • Vanilla extract – 1 tsp

Chocolate Ganache

  • Chopped dark or semi-sweet chocolate – 6 oz (can substitute milk chocolate)
  • Heavy cream – 1/2 cup (heated)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Crust: Crush your choice of chocolate or chocolate chip cookies into fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into a pie pan, covering the bottom and sides evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
  2. Whip the Peanut Butter Filling: In a bowl, beat creamy peanut butter and sugar until smooth. Separately, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, then add vanilla extract and combine carefully to maintain airiness.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Spread the whipped peanut butter filling evenly over the chilled cookie crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula, ensuring the filling reaches the edges for a neat finish.
  4. Make the Chocolate Ganache: Heat heavy cream gently and pour it over chopped chocolate. Let sit for one minute, then stir until silky smooth. Pour ganache over the peanut butter filling, spreading evenly. Optionally, chill the pie again to allow ganache to firm up.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the completed pie for at least 3 hours or overnight for best texture and flavor. Use a warm knife for clean slicing and enjoy the luscious layers.

Notes

  • Use room temperature peanut butter for smoother filling.
  • Don’t over-whip the cream; whip until firm peaks just form.
  • Press the crust firmly to keep it intact when slicing.
  • Warm your knife under hot water and dry before slicing to get clean slices.
  • Chill the pie thoroughly for the best texture and flavor.
