  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup butter, melted

For the Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream (whipped to stiff peaks)
  • Pinch of salt

For the Ganache

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream

For Garnish (Optional)

  • Chocolate chips
  • Whipped cream
  • Peanut butter drizzle

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

  • Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium-sized bowl
  • Mix until the texture resembles wet sand
  • Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners
  • Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottoms and slightly up the sides of each liner to create a crust
  • Refrigerate the crusts for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set

2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling

  • Beat softened cream cheese and peanut butter in a large bowl until smooth and creamy
  • Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully incorporated
  • Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to create a light, fluffy filling

3. Fill the Crusts

  • Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled crusts, filling them just below the rim
  • Smooth the tops with a spatula or the back of a spoon

4. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache

  • Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer
  • Remove from heat and add semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy

5. Top with Ganache

  • Spoon or pour ganache over the peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly across the tops of the pies

6. Chill and Serve

  • Refrigerate the mini pies for at least 2 hours, or until fully set
  • Garnish with chocolate chips, whipped cream, or a drizzle of peanut butter before serving

Notes

  • These mini pies are a symphony of contrasts
  • The buttery graham cracker crust provides a crumbly foundation
  • The creamy and slightly tangy peanut butter filling is light yet indulgent
  • The ganache offers a rich, velvety chocolate topping that ties everything together
  • Aromas of roasted peanuts and cocoa waft up, enhancing the experience
