Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan or pie plate.
  3. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  4. In a large bowl, beat peanut butter, sugar, cream cheese, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until just combined and no white streaks remain.
  7. Spoon the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Cover and refrigerate the pie for at least 6 hours, or until the filling is firm.
  9. To make the topping, place semi-sweet chocolate and hot coffee in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water (double boiler).
  10. Stir the chocolate and coffee constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  11. Spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the chilled peanut butter filling.
  12. Return the pie to the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow the chocolate layer to firm up before slicing.
