Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1–2 tbsp cold water
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp roasted peanuts, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Make the crust: In a bowl, mix flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water slowly and mix until a dough forms.
- Press dough evenly into the tart pan. Prick the base with a fork. Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Make the filling: In a bowl, whisk peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, flour, and salt until smooth. Spread over the crust and bake for 15–18 minutes until set. Cool completely.
- Prepare the toppings: Melt chocolate chips and heavy cream together until smooth. In another bowl, slightly warm peanut butter to make it pipeable.
- Use piping bags or spoons to dollop chocolate ganache and peanut butter over the cooled tart in a decorative pattern.
- Sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts and chill for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ensure tart is completely cooled before adding ganache and peanut butter to prevent melting.
- Chilling helps set the toppings for cleaner slicing.
- You can use a food processor to make the crust faster.
