Ingredients
– 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for drizzle)
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls
– Electric mixer
– Measuring cups and spoons
– 9-inch pie pan
– Rubber spatula
– Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl (for melting chocolate)
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C), which is crucial for achieving that perfect crust. I mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until it’s all combined, and it should have a consistency similar to wet sand. Then, I press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even layer. Baking it for about 8 minutes makes it crispy, which is perfect for holding the filling. I literally can’t resist taking a whiff of those warm, chocolatey scents wafting through my kitchen while it bakes! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
