Indulge in the luxurious delight of our Giant Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Pie, a heavenly union of velvety chocolate ganache and a tantalizingly chunky peanut butter filling. It's the ultimate dessert experience for both peanut butter enthusiasts and chocolate connoisseurs alike!
Ingredients:
Chocolate Ganache:
• 2½ cups milk chocolate chips
• 1½ tablespoons vegetable oil
Chunky Peanut Butter Filling:
• 1⅓ cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1¼ cups crunchy peanut butter
• ½ cup salted sweet cream butter
Instructions:
1. Prep the Tart Pan: Begin by lining a 9-inch fluted tart pan with parchment paper, ensuring to lightly coat it with nonstick spray.
2. Make the Ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat the mixture for 45-55 seconds until melted, then stir until it achieves a smooth consistency. Spread half of the ganache evenly into the prepared tart pan, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill.
3. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs. In a separate bowl, microwave the peanut butter and butter for 45 seconds, then stir until well combined. Incorporate the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture until thoroughly blended.
4. Assemble: Retrieve the tart pan from the refrigerator and spread the prepared peanut butter mixture over the chilled ganache layer. Top it with the remaining ganache, smoothing the surface. Refrigerate the pie for 4 hours to allow it to set perfectly.
5. Serve: Once thoroughly chilled, carefully remove the pie from the tart pan. Peel away the parchment paper, flip it onto a serving plate, and slice into generous portions. Enjoy the irresistible fusion of flavors and textures!
This colossal peanut butter cup pie promises to steal the spotlight at any gathering with its bold flavors and sumptuous texture. Whether it's for a festive celebration or a special indulgence, this dessert masterpiece is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression!
