Notes

  • You want to give the chocolate ganache time to set, otherise, the pie will be a pain to slice and the chocolate will run off the dessert. 2-2 ½ hours is the sweet spot for a set ganache.
  • I like to top my pie with sliced Reese’s cups and chopped peanuts.
  • You can store these covered in the fridge for up to a week. You can also store it in the freezer for up to a month. Simply let it thaw in the fridge before slicing and serving.
  • This pie is smooth and creamy. It has a texture similar to cheesecake.
  • In order to get a smooth, velvety filling, it is important to use smooth peanut butter and not crunchy peanut butter.
