I love peanut butter and add it to many of the desserts I make. This is one of my best and anyone who loves peanut butter cups will be in heaven when they take a bite of this rich, sensational tart. While it looks spectacular, it is very easy to put together. Mary Ann Lee, Clifton Park, New York. Ingredients:
1 package (9 ounces) chocolate wafers |
1/2 cup peanut butter chips |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
filling: |
1 cup creamy peanut butter |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
4 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/4 cup light corn syrup |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
ganache: |
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream |
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar |
1-1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup |
1/4 cup chopped salted peanuts |
Directions:
1. In a food processor, place the wafers, peanut butter chips and sugar; cover and process until finely crushed. Stir in melted butter. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. For filling, in a large bowl, beat peanut butter, butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Add the confectionersâ sugar, corn syrup and vanilla; beat until smooth. Pour into crust. Refrigerate while making ganache.
