Description
A rich, no-bake dessert combining a chocolate cookie crust with a creamy peanut butter center and smooth chocolate ganache. Silky, indulgent layers perfect for chocolate and peanut butter lovers.
Ingredients
Chocolate Cookie Crust Layer:
2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Peanut Butter Cream Layer:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups whipped topping
Other:
Chopped Reese’s pieces
Ganache: 1 cup chocolate chips, ½ cup hot heavy cream
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press into a pie dish to form the crust and chill for 15 minutes.
2. Beat peanut butter and cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
3. Fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy. Spread half the mixture into the crust, sprinkle with chopped Reese’s, then add remaining mixture on top.
4. Prepare ganache by pouring hot heavy cream over chocolate chips until smooth. Spread over the pie.
5. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Chilled, slice with a hot knife.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate cookies for the crust. Soften cream cheese fully to avoid lumps. For cleaner slices, chill overnight. Storage: Refrigerate up to 3 days. Avoid freezing. Variations: Substitute with low-fat cream cheese or dark chocolate in the ganache.
