Servings: persons

1 premade chocolate crust, well chilled
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons heavy cream (for the filling)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey
2 ounces good quality chocolate, I prefer dark chocolate
TOPPING:
1/4 cup plus 1 TBSP. heavy cream
Handful chopped peanut butter cups or peanuts as garnish.
1 pinch Nutmeg

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Place the peanut butter, heavy cream and butter into a bowl and blend well. The mixture needs to be smooth. If it is blended a minute or so, the texture becomes more mousse like.
3
Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, honey and nutmeg. Mix until smooth. Carefully spread the mixture into the pie shell and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool while preparing the topping.
4
Place the heavy cream into a heat-proof bowl and microwave on high just until simmering, approximately 30 seconds. Remove the cream from the microwave and add the chocolate. Make sure the chocolate is completely submersed in the cream. Allow to sit for 2 minutes. Gently whisk until the chocolate is melted and combined with the cream, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
5
Spread the chocolate mixture over the pie and chill in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 hours before serving. Garnish with chopped peanut butter cups or peanuts.
6
This is insanely rich. A sliver will suffice!
