How to Make Peanut Butter Cup Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your homemade sugar cookie dough (recipe not included, but many are readily available online).
  2. Press the cookie dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  3. Let the crust cool completely.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the peanut butter filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and cream until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of milk if necessary to reach desired consistency.
  5. Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled crust and spread evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the filling to set.
  7. Prepare the chocolate ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the heavy cream and chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
  8. Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled peanut butter filling and spread evenly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set.
  10. Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften slightly.
  11. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
