How to Make Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

Making this Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart is simple and straightforward. Follow these easy steps to create a mouthwatering dessert.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups (201g) Oreo crumbs
4 tbsp (82g) butter, melted
6 oz (170g) peanut butter chips
1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream (for peanut butter ganache)
6 oz (170g) chocolate chips
1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream (for chocolate ganache)
12–15 mini Reese’s, quartered

Directions:

Preheat your oven if necessary, but often, there’s no need for this recipe as the tart won’t be baked.
In a bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated with butter.
Press the mixture into a greased tart pan to form the crust. Make sure it is packed evenly.
For the peanut butter ganache, heat the peanut butter chips and 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir until smooth.
Pour the peanut butter ganache into the prepared crust. Refrigerate it until firm, about 1-2 hours.
For the chocolate ganache, repeat the same heating process with the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream. Stir until melted and smooth.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the solidified peanut butter layer in the tart.
Press the quartered mini Reese’s into the top of the tart.
Chill in the refrigerator until firm again, about another hour.
Once set, slice and serve!

How to Serve Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

Serve this tart chilled for the best taste. You can garnish it with extra whipped cream or chocolate shavings if desired. Enjoy it on its own, or add a scoop of ice cream for an extra special treat!

How to Store Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

Keep any leftover tart in the refrigerator. It can stay fresh for up to a week if stored properly in an airtight container. If you plan to keep it longer, consider freezing it for up to one month.

Tips to Make Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

Make sure your crust is firmly pressed to avoid crumbling when you slice the tart.
Allow the ganaches to cool slightly before pouring them into the crust for a smoother layer.
Feel free to add crushed nuts or extra candies on top for added crunch and flavor!

Variation

You can swap out Oreo crumbs for graham cracker crumbs if you prefer. Experiment with dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate for a richer flavor, or add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty twist.

FAQs

A: The total time will be about 3-4 hours since there is cooling time in between steps.

Q: Can I make this tart in advance?
A: Absolutely! This tart is great for making ahead of time. Just keep it stored in the fridge until you’re ready to serve it.
