Bon Appetit
My husband's birthday was yesterday, and I made this little concoction especially for him. He has a strange obsession with peanut butter, so I knew this would be the best birthday cake --- and I was right. He absolutely loves it.

INGREDIENTS
1 Graham Cracker Pie crust (I took the shortcut, you can make your own)
1 1/3 cups bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips (about
8 ounces)
2/3 cup plus 1 3/4 cups chilled whipping cream, divided
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
6 ounces (1 cup) peanut butter chips
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (do not use old-fashioned style or freshly ground)
2 tablespoons sugar
1. Combine chocolate chips, 2/3 cup cream, corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium heat until chocolate softens, about 3 minutes.
2. Whisk until melted and smooth. Spread chocolate mixture over bottom of crust. Freeze 10 minutes.
3. Microwave peanut butter chips and 3/4 cup cream in large microwave-safe bowl on medium heat at 15-second intervals just until chips soften, stirring often.
4. Whisk in peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cool to barely lukewarm.
5. Beat remaining 1 cup cream and 2 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl until very thick but not yet holding peaks; fold into peanut butter mixture in 3 additions.
6. Spoon mousse over chocolate layer. Chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.

Post a CommentI really want to call it Fat Bottom Pie, because if I make it I'm going to EAT the WHOLE THING! It looks so good! And is that the pie you actually made? Wow! What presentation! It's beautiful.
Thanks Kris! Believe me, you won't be able to finish one piece. It's soooooo rich. But so yummy. I like that it's so rich because it forces you to put down your fork!
Yeah, I just melted some chocolate and butter and drizzled it and then chopped up some peanut butter chips to put on top.
It's really one of the easiest desserts I've ever made.
My grandma makes me peanut butter pie every year for my birthday! It's my favorite.
That looks AMAZING!
I'm pretty sure I could finish it. Looks amazing! Happy Birthday to hubby.
