Ingredients

Chocolate Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted

Filling

  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 cup icing sugar

Topping

  • 6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts

Directions

Chocolate Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350º F (180ºC).
  2. In bowl, toss crumbs with butter. Pat into 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate, without covering rim. Bake in centre of oven until firm, about 8 minutes. Let cool.

Filling

  1. In bowl, whip cream; set aside. In large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth; beat in peanut butter, butter and vanilla. Beat in icing sugar until fluffy. Fold one-quarter of the whipped cream into filling; fold in remaining cream. Spread over crust. Cover loosely and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

Topping

  1. Meanwhile, chop chocolate finely; place in heatproof bowl. In small saucepan, warm cream over medium-low heat until bubbles form around edge; pour over chocolate and stir until melted. Let cool. Drizzle over filling; sprinkle with nuts.
  2. Cover loosely and refrigerate until set, 2 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 2 days.)
