Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups (350ml) whipped topping
- 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
Instructions:
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate using the bottom of a measuring cup to ensure it is solid and compact.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until completely smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing on medium speed until fluffy.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until streaks disappear, then pour the mixture into the crust and smooth the top.
- Heat heavy cream in the microwave until simmering, then pour over chocolate chips.
- Let the chocolate and cream sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until the ganache is glossy.
- Pour the ganache over the filling, tilt the pan to spread evenly, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing.
