Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup salted peanuts (for topping)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the base and sides of a tart pan. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
- In another bowl, mix creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Spread over the chilled crust in an even layer.
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl, let sit for 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the ganache over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Top with salted peanuts and optional drizzle of melted chocolate for decoration.
- Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until fully set. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use gluten-free graham crackers or almond flour for a gluten-free version.
- Crunchy peanut butter adds texture if preferred.
- Slice with a warm knife for clean edges.
- Chill overnight for a firmer set.
- Top with whipped cream for added lightness when serving.
