Chocolate Peanut Butter Ganache Pie

November 23, 2009 By Carole

It’s Thanksgiving Week here in the United States and that means I’ve got food on my mind. Well, pie . So I thought I’d share a pie I made this weekend.

chocolate peanut butter ganache pie

Chocolate Peanut Butter Ganache Pie

20 Oreo cookies
3 T butter
1/3 cup peanut butter
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla

Process oreos in food processor and mix with 3 T butter. Pat into pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes in a 350 oven.

Meanwhile, combine peanut butter, heavy cream and vanilla in a saucepan. Heat until peanut butter melts, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and pour into pie shell. Chill at least 3 hours. Drizzle the top with melted peanut butter before serving.

I brought this to a gathering on Sunday and it was a hit. It goes a long way because it’s so rich that you really only need a very small slice to be satisfied.

Simple, easy and delicious. It doesn’t get better than that.

    Looks delicious – I think pie is the best part of Thanksgiving. It’s the only time I make it.

    Wow, that sure is pretty! I might just have to make that one for Thanksgiving 🙂

    I have an awesome easy and simple chocolate pie recipe if you
    ever want it. Just made it and had it this weekend for our
    pre-Thanksgiving dinner for family here in NC. Taste like a
    fudy brownie.

    Holy crap. I may have to try this instead of the classic choc. cream pie I was planning (hubs is not a fruit pie eater, so I always make one for Turkey day just for him).

    Mmmmm……..it looks SO good and easy to make! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

    November 23, 2009 at 11:04 am

    Yum! I need another dessert for Thursday so maybe I’ll make this. But I was thinking about your cranberry pecan pie. Tough decision!

  13. Norma says

    November 23, 2009 at 10:13 am

    I used to love these sorts of pies and desserts, but now I find them just too heavy for me. However, I have been craving a cranberry pie, and I just read Beth’s comment about your cranberry pecan… that might be just the ticket. 😀

  14. Donna says

    November 23, 2009 at 10:50 am

    Thank you! I was hoping you were going to post that! I know what pie I am making for Thursday now.

    It looks delicious!

    Since I’m working the holiday, I need to take food items in for the annual potluck. Sweet tater pie is on on my list, but this might just have to be added on. Yum!

  16. Stephanie says

    November 23, 2009 at 11:35 am

    What’s not to love about that! I need to start thinking about my Thanksgiving desserts – I may have to add this to the list.

  17. Hillary says

    November 23, 2009 at 12:38 pm

    That looks delish. Bru would love that. I’ll have to try it.

  18. Doris says

    November 23, 2009 at 12:58 pm

    Wow, does that ever look good!

  19. Vicki says

    November 23, 2009 at 1:16 pm

    Mmmm, that looks wonderful. Love the drizzliness. I think I gained 5 lbs just reading the ingredients!

  20. Joy says

    November 23, 2009 at 1:44 pm

    Just what I need – another super-high-calorie yummy 😉 I just may have to try this when the kids are here this week – thanks!

  21. Lucia says

    November 23, 2009 at 2:31 pm

    Hmm… as previously advertised, I’m not big on peanut butter… I wonder if one could use marzipan instead. Or maybe I should just go for chocolate bourbon pecan pie.

  22. Elizabeth says

    November 23, 2009 at 2:35 pm

    You have just determined what I’m making for Thanksgiving dessert!

  23. Cookie says

    Yum!

  24. Yarndude says

    November 23, 2009 at 3:03 pm

    Wow, thanks for this! I’m going to have to give it a try as soon as I get home for Thanksgiving…

  25. Laurie says

    November 23, 2009 at 3:45 pm

    One huge creamy peanut butter cup!

  26. Sylvia says

    November 23, 2009 at 4:05 pm

    You are redefining evil. I am on a diet! I can’t even have the crust. It looks so good! Grrrr.

  27. Kym says

    November 23, 2009 at 4:11 pm

    Mmmmm. I’ll bet it tastes as good as it looks!

  28. Karen says

    November 23, 2009 at 7:56 pm

    OK, that’s it! I’m going to make that for Thanksgiving dessert. It looks soooooo good!

  29. Leslie says

    November 25, 2009 at 8:00 am

    Wow, that looks amazing! Too bad I have all my baking done for tomorrow, but I can tuck this one away for a future celebration…

    November 27, 2009 at 3:15 pm

    sounds rich and delicious!

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
