Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.25 cups crunchy peanut butter
- 2.5 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Binding and Sweetening Ingredients:
- 0.5 cup salted sweet cream butter
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Preparation Ingredients:
- 1.5 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the tart pan by lining a 9-inch fluted pan with parchment paper and lightly spraying with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal.
- Create the chocolate ganache by combining milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating for 45-55 seconds while stirring occasionally until the mixture becomes completely smooth and glossy.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs to create a dry ingredient base for the filling.
- Melt peanut butter and butter together in the microwave for approximately 45 seconds, stirring until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the melted peanut butter mixture, mixing thoroughly until a consistent filling texture is achieved.
- Pour half of the prepared chocolate ganache into the bottom of the prepared tart pan, creating an even base layer.
- Refrigerate the initial ganache layer for 3-4 minutes to allow it to slightly set and become firm.
- Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the chilled ganache layer, ensuring a smooth and uniform surface.
- Gently pour the remaining chocolate ganache over the peanut butter filling, using a spatula to create an even, glossy top.
- Refrigerate the entire tart for 4 hours to allow complete setting and optimal flavor development.
- Carefully remove the tart from the pan and transfer to a serving plate, slicing into clean, precise portions before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer, smoother ganache that melts more evenly and creates a luxurious texture.
- Ensure peanut butter and butter are at room temperature to blend seamlessly and prevent lumpy filling.
- For a gluten-free version, swap graham cracker crumbs with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs to maintain the tart’s signature crumbly base.
- Chill the tart thoroughly to achieve clean, precise slices and allow flavors to meld together perfectly.
