Description

A rich and indulgent tart featuring a buttery crust, peanut blondie filling, luscious chocolate ganache, creamy peanut butter swirls, and a crunchy roasted peanut topping.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 12 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

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a tart pan with a removable bottom.
  2. 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.
  3. Press dough evenly into the tart pan. Prick the base with a fork. Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  4. 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.
  5. Prepare the toppings: Melt chocolate chips and heavy cream together until smooth. In another bowl, slightly warm peanut butter to make it pipeable.
  6. Use piping bags or spoons to dollop chocolate ganache and peanut butter over the cooled tart in a decorative pattern.
  7. 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.
