Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Pie Food

PEANUT BUTTER-CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch pie plate. Pulse the graham crackers and peanuts in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse to combine. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the side of the prepared pie plate. Bake until set, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
• Meanwhile, put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50 percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Spread evenly in the prepared crust with a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon; set aside until the chocolate sets, about 10 minutes.
• Make the filling: Beat the heavy cream in a bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form; refrigerate until ready to use. In another bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, milk and vanilla on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix on low speed until incorporated.
• Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until combined, then fold in the rest. Spoon into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours or overnight. Top with shaved chocolate before serving.

THE ULTIMATE NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER PIE

Steps:

• Combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract in the clean, cold bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip until the mixture holds stiff peaks. Gently transfer the whipped cream to a new bowl. Add the cream cheese to the stand mixer bowl, switch to the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the peanut butter and beat until light and fluffy about 3 minutes.
• Gently fold the whipped cream and chopped peanut butter cups into the cream cheese mixture. Pour the filling into the pie crust and place in the fridge to set for 2 to 3 hours.
• Using a spoon, drizzle the pie in vertical lines with peanut butter sauce. Repeat with the chocolate shell ice-cream topping, also in vertical lines. Sprinkle the peanuts and mini chocolate chips around the perimeter of the pie.
• Heat the condensed milk, peanut butter and 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until smooth and melted, 5 to 7 minutes. (Thin with a little more water if too thick.) Let cool slightly.
