Ingredients:

  • 300g chocolate sandwich cookies (approx. 24 cookies)
  • 85g unsalted butter, melted
  • 2g sea salt
  • 225g full-fat brick cream cheese, softened
  • 250g creamy commercial peanut butter
  • 120g confectioners' sugar, sifted
  • 240ml cold heavy whipping cream (minimum 36% fat)
  • 5ml pure vanilla extract
  • 100g semisweet chocolate chips
  • 80ml heavy cream (for ganache)
  • 15g creamy peanut butter (for ganache swirl)

Instructions:

  1. Pulse the cookies. Place 300g of chocolate sandwich cookies in the food processor and pulse until they are a fine sand. Note: This ensures the crust is dense and won't crumble.
  2. Bind the crust. Stream in 85g of melted butter and 2g of sea salt, mixing until it resembles wet soil.
  3. Set the base. Press the mixture into a 9 inch plate and freeze for 10 minutes until firm to the touch.
  4. Cream the base. Beat 225g softened cream cheese and 250g peanut butter until completely smooth and pale.
  5. Sweeten the mix. Gradually add 120g sifted confectioners' sugar on low, then whip on medium until glossy.
  6. Whip the cream. In a cold bowl, whip 240ml heavy cream and 5ml vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  7. Fold carefully. Gently fold one third of the cream into the peanut butter until no white streaks remain. Note: This lightens the base so the rest of the cream doesn't deflate.
  8. Fill the crust. Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top until perfectly flat.
  9. Make the ganache. Melt 100g chocolate chips with 80ml heavy cream and 15g peanut butter until silky and pourable.
  10. Final Chill. Pour the ganache over the pie and refrigerate for 4 hours until the filling is set and stable.
