Ingredients
  • :::For the Crust:2 cups graham cracker crumbs:::
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • :::For the Peanut Butter Cream:4 ounces cream cheese:::
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Flaky sea salt, for garnish
Directions
  1. Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, butter and salt until incorporated and resembling wet sand. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish and press crumbs firmly on the bottom and up the sides of the dish. Bake until lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
  2. Make the peanut butter cream: In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter and confectioners' sugar. Using an electric hand mixer, beat until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Add the peanut butter, vanilla and salt, and beat until smooth. Scrape the mixture into the pie shell and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  3. Make the chocolate ganache: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate chips and salt. In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer over medium heat. As soon as it begins to simmer, pour the cream over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the chocolate over the peanut butter mixture, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt, then refrigerate until set, 1 hour. Slice the pie and serve.
