Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375F.
Step 2
Lightly spray a 9" metal pie tin with baking spray, distribute it with a pastry brush and set it aside.
Step 3
Add the cookies to a food processor and pulse them up until a fine crumb forms. Then add the melted butter and pulse until combined.
Step 4
Transfer the crumbs to the pie tin, shaking the pan to level the crumbs, then pressing them against the sides to form a crust, in a "fist bump" motion up the sides so it adhears.
Step 5
Tamp the bottom of the pie down with a measuring cup to flatten out the bottom. Bake for 10 minutes then all to cool.
Step 6
Cream together the peanut butter, mascarpone cheese, 3/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla in an electric mixer. Then transfer to a large bowl.
Step 7
In a cleaned-out mixer, whip the 2 cups of heavy cream, 2 tablespoon of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Step 8
Add 1 1/2 cups of whipped cream to the peanut butter mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, folding it in to lighten the mixture.
Step 9
Transfer the peanut butter filling into a cooled pie crust, leveling it out with a spatula, and set aside.
Step 10
Meanwhile, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a saucepan until foamy and simmering. Turn off the heat and add the chocolate chips. Whisk until a smooth chocolate ganache forms. Allow to cool until slightly warm.
Step 11
Pour the chocolate ganache into the center of the pile, forming a pool. Then spread it out gently with the back of a spoon, extending to reach the pie crust.
Step 12
Place the toffee peanuts in a zip lock bag, seal to close well, and whack with a rolling pin until crushed.
Step 13
Top the pie with crushed peanuts.
Step 14
Transfer the remaining whipped cream to a pastry bag fitted with a star pastry tip, and pipe whipped cream dollops all around the perimeter of the pie and add one dollop in the center.
Step 15
Grate the dark chocolate over the whipped cream dollops.
Step 16
Refrigerate uncovered, for at least 4 hours, before serving.
Step 17
Remove from the refrigerator 15-20 minutes before serving for easy slicing and the best texture.
