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.

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.

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.
