Ingredients
1 premade chocolate cookie crust
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
- Stir in chocolate chips and cocoa powder, whisking until melted and smooth to form a glossy ganache.
- Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chocolate cookie crust and spread evenly.
- Pour the warm ganache over the peanut butter layer and gently swirl with a knife or skewer for a marbled effect.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings before serving. Slice and enjoy chilled.
