Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreos, finely crushed)
• 1/2 cup melted butter

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream, whipped

For the Chocolate Ganache:

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated.
   • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan.
   • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
2. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
   • Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.
   • Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the chilled crust.
3. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream.
   • Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
   • Let the ganache cool slightly before pouring it over the peanut butter filling.
4. Assemble the Tart:
   • Pour the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
   • Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.
5. Serve:
   • Slice and serve chilled.
   • Optionally, garnish with additional chocolate shavings or a drizzle of melted peanut butter for an extra touch.
