PEANUT BUTTER CUP COOKIES (TARTS)



Peanut Butter Cup Cookies (Tarts) image

I first saw these at a bake sale and was so impressed. You bake a ball of dough in a mini-muffin tin, bake, and press a Reese's peanut butter cup into it after you take it out of oven. You are left with a picture-perfect tart, receiving "oohs and aahs" and "how did you do it?" You could even use the refrigerated sugar/peanut butter cookie dough too.

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE CUPS



Peanut butter cookie cups image

Pair the winning combination of peanut butter and dark chocolate in these cookie cups. They're perfect for a picnic or pick-me-up treat for the whole family

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dessert

Time 43m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

175g butter, softened
200g light brown soft sugar
100g golden caster sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
250g plain flour
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
150g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids)
240g peanut or almond butter

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Tip the butter, sugars and vanilla into a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Add the flour, bicarb and a pinch of salt, and mix everything together with a spatula.
  • Break off golf-ball-sized lumps of dough (about 65g each) and press into the holes of a 12-hole muffin tin, ensuring it comes up the sides - if you're using a deep muffin tin, the dough should come about halfway up the side of each hole. Bake for 15 mins until golden. The dough will sink as it bakes, so leave until cool enough to handle, then press it up the sides of the holes again. Leave to cool completely.
  • Break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and melt until smooth in the microwave in 20-second bursts, or set over a pan of barely simmering water ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Remove the cookie cups from the tin (you may need a cutlery knife to help you do this). Spoon 1 tsp nut butter into the centre of each, then cover with the melted chocolate. Leave to cool until the chocolate sets, about 1 hr. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.

PEANUT BUTTER CUP TART



Peanut Butter Cup Tart image

Our grown-up twist on the beloved childhood treat teams a chocolate wafer crust with a decadent peanut butter filling and swirled chocolate ganache topping.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes one 10-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 15

35 chocolate wafers (8 ounces), broken into pieces
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 tablespoons heavy cream
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt
10 ounces semisweet (55 to 61 percent cacao) chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
Lightly sweetened whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Peanut brittle, chopped, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pulse wafers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add butter, granulated sugar, and salt; process until well combined. Press mixture firmly into bottom and up sides of a 10-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Bake until crust is fragrant, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • Filling: Sift confectioners' sugar into a large bowl; set aside. Combine butter, cream, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until butter and peanut butter are just melted. Pour over confectioners' sugar in bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour into cooled crust and spread to edges with a small offset spatula. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface, and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Topping: Place chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring cream just to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat; pour over chocolate mixture. Let stand 5 minutes until chocolate has softened, then stir together with a rubber spatula until emulsified. Let cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until ganache is thick, glossy, and just holds a line but is still pourable, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Place tart on a revolving cake stand. Pour ganache into center of tart and carefully spread just shy of the edges. Using a small offset spatula held at an angle, create a spiral pattern in the top of the tart by spinning cake stand while slowly sliding spatula out from the center of the tart to the edge. Let stand at room temperature until ganache has set, about 1 hour. Serve at room temperature with whipped cream and peanut brittle, if desired. Tart is best served the same day but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days.

PEANUT BUTTER CUP TART WITH CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST



Peanut Butter Cup Tart with Chocolate Cookie Crust image

Peanut butter cups are iconic. They're a childhood favorite for Ali. Okay, who are we kidding--they're an adult favorite, too! So, I'm taking this classic flavor combination and creating a tart. Sweet peanut butter filling inside a chocolate cookie crust with a chocolate ganache topping makes a grown-up peanut butter cup.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield One 9-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups (170 g) chocolate wafer cookie crumbs
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons (84 g) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/4 cups (325 g) chunky peanut butter
5 tablespoons (70 g) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup (90 g) confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons (30 ml) whole milk, or more as needed
1 1/2 teaspoons (8 ml) pure vanilla extract
5 ounces (142 g) good-quality semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped
1/3 cup (80 ml) heavy cream
2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons (23 ml) light corn syrup
3/4 cup (110 g) chopped roasted, salted peanuts, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • To make the crust, in a medium bowl, mix the chocolate wafer cookie crumbs and salt. Add the melted butter and mix until the cookie crumbs are well coated. Sprinkle the cookie crumb mixture in a 9-inch (23-cm) tart pan, with a little extra around the base of the sides. Press the crumbs on the bottom and sides of the pan using the heel of your hand or a tart tamper. Make sure the crust is as even in thickness as possible. Blind bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes, then place it on a wire rack and allow it to cool completely. (Blind baking means to partially or fully cook a pie or tart crust that has a filling that is cooked for only a short period of time or not at all.)
  • To make the peanut butter filling, in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the peanut butter and softened butter until well mixed. Add the confectioners' sugar, salt and nutmeg and mix to combine. Next, add the milk and vanilla extract and beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Fill the cooled crust with the peanut butter filling, leveling it with an offset spatula. The crust should extend above the filling slightly to leave space for the chocolate ganache topping.
  • To make the chocolate ganache topping, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water or a double boiler. Whisk in the heavy cream until smooth. Add the butter and corn syrup and whisk until the butter is melted and the chocolate mixture is smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture on top of the tart, moving the tart in a tilting motion so the chocolate runs to the sides and covers the entire top of the tart. Garnish the edges of the tart with the chopped peanuts. Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour and serve chilled. The tart can be made 1 day ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter: The type of peanut butter you use will greatly affect the flavor of your cookies or tarts. Look for a brand that is made with 100% peanuts and no added oils or sugars.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies or tarts to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies or tarts until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. The edges of the cookies or tarts should be golden brown and the centers should be slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies or tarts cool completely before decorating: This will help to prevent the frosting or chocolate from melting.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter cup cookies and tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and satisfying dessert that will be loved by people of all ages.
