Cookie Crust
1 cup finely ground chocolate wafers
I actually used teddy Grahams. they worked wonderfully
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 1/2 ounces (3 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350F. In a medium bowl, mix cookie crumbs and sugar with a fork until well mixed. Drizzle butter and mix until crumbs are moistened. Press crumbs evenly into a 9 1/2 - inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake crust for about 10 minutes until fragrant. Let crust cool completely before filling
Peanut Butter Filling
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/4 tsp salt
3 large egg yolks
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
4 tsp all purpose flour
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cookie crust, baked & cooled (see recipe above)
Glaze
3 ounces semi or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 ounces (4 tbsp) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 tbsp light corn syrup
To make the filling
In a medium saucepan, bring milk and salt to a simmer. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, brown sugar and flour. Whisking constantly, slowly ladle in half of the hot milk over the egg mixture. Pour mixture back into the remaining milk in the pan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 4 minutes. Continue to cook, still whisking constantly, for 1 more minute. Remove pan from heat and whisk in peanut butter and vanilla.
Pour hot filling into cooled crust and spread evenly. Carefully press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the filling (to prevent a skin from forming). Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before glazing.
To make the glaze and finish the tart
Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler over medium heat. Stir corn syrup into the melted mixture until smooth. Remove plastic from chilled tart. Carefully pour the hot glaze over the filling and spread evenly to cover the filling. Refrigerate the tart for 30 minutes before serving.
I make the crust in my food processor. It is fairly easy that way.
This was an easy recipe.
Jennifer claimed it was the best dessert she ever had. I thought the glaze was a bit much. I think it would be better with milk chocolate.
It seemed very rich, but it all got eaten.
now it is hard for me to really evaluate this recipe other than on difficulty ( pretty easy) looks: beautiful, but the glaze is not really a glaze it is a hard shell. ( or maybe my corn syrup was just old) and comments, all good.
I don;t eat Peanut butter, and I certainly do not ruin chocolate with peanut butter. But I would definitely make it again and if you like resers' PB cups. I think you would enjoy this.
