Ingredients

• 2 cups Pecans
• 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (for filling)
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream (for ganache)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Pecans, chopped (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the crust: In a food processor, pulse the pecans until finely ground. Add the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt, and pulse until combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.

Step 2

Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.

Step 3

Make the peanut butter filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream until smooth and creamy. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust and return to the refrigerator.

Step 4

Prepare the chocolate ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, heat the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of heavy cream together until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the ganache over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top for garnish.

Step 6

Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set. Once ready, remove from the tart pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy!
