Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces dark chocolate
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 4 large egg whites
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press into the prepared pie dish and bake for 10-12 minutes until set. Let cool completely.
- Melt dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until smooth. Pour over the cooled crust and chill for at least 10 minutes.
- In an electric mixer, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form; refrigerate.
- Beat together peanut butter, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth, then mix in powdered sugar.
- Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture and then fold in the rest before pouring into the cooled crust. Chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- For the meringue topping, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup in a saucepan; boil until dissolved and reaches 230°F.
- Whip egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually add sugar while mixing.
- Slowly pour hot syrup into egg whites while mixing on low speed; increase speed to medium-high until stiff peaks form.
- Top the chilled pie with meringue and create peaks using a spatula. Use a kitchen torch to brown lightly before serving.
