Decadent Chocolate Peanut Butter Mini Pies
Recipe
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream (for chocolate ganache)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Chocolate chips for garnish
Directions:
Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter.
Press the mixture into the bottoms and sides of a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the crust.
Make the Peanut Butter Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.
Assemble the Pies:
Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
In a small saucepan, heat the 1/2 cup heavy cream until just simmering.
Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter filling, spreading evenly.
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the pies for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Garnish with additional chocolate chips before serving.
