Crust

Peanut Butter Mousse

Chocolate Ganache

Method

Crust

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chocolate Crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.

  2. 2

    Form the Crust

    Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Ensure an even layer throughout.

  3. 3

    Bake the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Peanut Butter Mousse

  1. 4

    Prepare the Mousse Base

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the peanut butter and powdered sugar, and mix until well combined and creamy.

  2. 5

    Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

  3. 6

    Combine Mousse Ingredients

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

  4. 7

    Fill the Crust

    Spoon the peanut butter mousse into the cooled chocolate crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Chocolate Ganache

  1. 8

    Make the Ganache

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let sit for 5 minutes.

  2. 9

    Stir the Ganache

    Whisk the chocolate and cream together until smooth and glossy. Allow the ganache to cool slightly.

  3. 10

    Top the Mousse

    Pour the ganache over the set peanut butter mousse, spreading it evenly. Return to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to set.

Assembly

  1. 11

    Add the Topping

    Once the ganache has set, sprinkle the crushed peanut butter cups over the top of the pie for garnish.

  2. 12

    Serve

    Slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Cream Pie!
