Ingredients

Crust:

Directions

For the crust:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pulse the peanuts, granulated sugar, and cloves in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Pulse in the butter. Press the nut mixture evenly into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan and bake until set, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Melt the chocolate with the cream in a microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth, and then spread the chocolate over the crust. Freeze the crust while making the filling.

Filling:

For the filling:

Whisk the milk, eggs, confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until boiling. Continue to cook until the consistency of mayonnaise, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl. Whisk in the cream cheese, peanut butter, and vanilla. Spread evenly over the chocolate and refrigerate until cold or overnight.

Topping:

  • 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, chilled
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

For the topping:

Melt the chocolate in a microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth; cool slightly. Whip the cream with the confectioners' sugar until it holds slightly stiff peaks. Stir a large spoonful of the cream into the chocolate and then fold all the chocolate into the cream. Remove the pie from the pan. Spread the cream topping onto the pie with an offset spatula. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

    No substitutions and no problems. I've been trying recipes from Food Network for years and I have to say that I have never been disappointed! It does amuse me to see how other cooks trash the recipe with such descriptors and "Yuck!" and "it ruined my dinner!" When I want to try a recipe I look to see if the ingredients are things I like and are easy to find, I taste as I go, and most importantly I follow instructions. I teach software for a living and I'm always surprised by students who don't follow directions and yet blame the software or the instructor.
    This is a great pie. I made it the day before. The peanut crust is excellent and great for those who can't consume gluten or wheat! I would make it again. Yes it's rich but what do you expect from Emeril?

    YUM! I substituted the peanuts in the crust for some oreo cookie crumbs and skipped the chocolate glaze. This was the best peanut butter chocolate pie I have ever tasted! It is nice and thin, more like a tart. I will defiantly make again!

    I've made this a few times and both times tasted great but how big of a hit depends on your crowd. One crowd loved it and it was gone before every other desert. One person even said it tasted like peanut butter cups on steroids! The other event everyone thought it was too rich and ate the fruit salad instead but both times it tasted great! I love this pie but it is rich so make sure to make it for someone who loves peanut butter & chocolate together and don't mind a really rich taste!
