Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon demerara sugar or brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Chocolate Ganache

  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz premade whipped topping (optional)

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup confectioners sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Combine melted butter, sugar, and graham cracker crumbs in a bowl and mix well.
  3. Press the mixture into a 9 or 10-inch pie pan evenly, about ⅛ inch thick.
  4. Chill the crust for an hour before baking to prevent crumbling.
  5. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes and let it cool completely.
  6. For the ganache, melt chocolate and heavy cream together until smooth, then cool slightly.
  7. Spread about ⅓ of the ganache into the cooled pie crust and refrigerate to set.
  8. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peanut butter until light and fluffy.
  9. In another bowl, whip heavy cream and vanilla to stiff peaks, then gently fold into the peanut butter mixture.
  10. Fill the pie crust with the peanut butter filling and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set.
  11. Top the pie with the remaining ganache and refrigerate for about an hour to set.
