Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
- In a food processor, combine the graham crackers and cocktail peanuts. Pulse until finely ground.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the mixed crumbs and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish. Bake the crust for about 10-12 minutes, or until set. Allow it to cool completely.
Assembly
- Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Chill for about 10 minutes until hardened.
- In a bowl, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, then refrigerate.
- In a clean bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the powdered sugar until combined.
- Fold in half of the whipped cream, then fold in the remaining whipped cream gently.
- Spoon the creamy filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top.
Cooling
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 3 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, top with chocolate shavings or curls.
Notes
Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. For extra crunch, consider adding chopped peanuts on top.
