Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pie

So here we go, this serves 10-12 people or in Dave's case just him, don't get me wrong he didn't eat it in one go but he did eat it all.

7oz Crushed Chocolate cream biscuits (bourbons)
1 ¾oz Unsalted butter( melted)
7oz Cream Cheese (Philadelphia)
3oz Icing Sugar
3 ½ oz Smooth Peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
9floz Cream whipped to firm peaks

for the decoration
2floz cream
½ oz butter
1 ¾oz grated dark chocolate
honey-roasted peanuts chopped if you want


Put the biscuits and melted butter in a bowl and mix now press into a pie dish I used a glass dish. Refrigerate for 15mins until firm.

Beat the Philadelphia and icing sugar with electric beaters until smooth, add the peanut butter and vanilla and mix together. Stir in a third of the whipped cream until smooth then fold in the remaining cream. Pour on top of the biscuit base and put in the fridge for 2 hours, until its firm.

Put the extra cream and butter in a saucepan and stir over a medium heat until the butter has melted and the mixture just comes to a simmer. Take off the heat and add the chocolate and stir until melted.

Cool a little then drizzle the chocolate over the top of the pie to create a lattice pattern now put back into the fridge for another 2 hours or until the pie is firm. Remove from the fridge and scatter over the peanuts if your using them and enjoy.
