Crust

Method

Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Crust

    Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Fill the Tart

    Once the crust has cooled, pour the peanut butter filling into the crust. Spread evenly with a spatula.

  5. 5

    Chill the Tart

    Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours or until set. For best results, chill overnight.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once set, slice and serve the tart chilled. Optional: top with whipped cream or chocolate drizzle before serving.
