Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Pie
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter until evenly combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, creating a compact layer. Bake for about 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before adding the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the ganache by heating 1 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer gently. Pour the hot cream over 1 cup of chocolate chips in a bowl. Allow it to sit for 2 minutes, then stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is glossy and smooth.
- Spread the creamy peanut butter filling evenly into the cooled chocolate cookie crust, smoothing it out. Drizzle the warm chocolate ganache over the top, allowing it to cascade.
- Refrigerate the assembled Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Pie for at least 2 hours to set properly.
- Before serving, consider garnishing with chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
