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:

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. 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.
  3. Beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until completely smooth.
  4. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing on medium speed until fluffy.
  5. Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until streaks disappear, then pour the mixture into the crust and smooth the top.
  6. Heat heavy cream in the microwave until simmering, then pour over chocolate chips.
  7. Let the chocolate and cream sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until the ganache is glossy.
  8. Pour the ganache over the filling, tilt the pan to spread evenly, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing.
