Peanut Butter Chocolate Marshmallow Pies

The sweet nuttiness of creamy peanut butter pie, the richness of chocolate ganache, the perfect texture of a lightly spiced graham cracker crust, and the fun and gooiness of marshmallow fluff. This is the perfect Valentine’s Day dessert for anyone who’s beyond heart-shaped molten lava cakes.

Your husband won’t roll his eyes at this one, that’s for sure.

O and I first tasted whatever this thing is after running into local Automatic Slims during a rainstorm. We were blown away by the combination of flavors, and I set out to recreate it at home. We think it’s even better.

I couldn’t think of what to name it, so a bunch of ingredients and “pie” seemed appropriate.

It’s quick enough to whip up after dinner on a weekday, and you can store extras in the fridge for a pickup a day or two later.

You’ll love this, because it’s interesting, yet homey, and there’s a perfect balance of sweet, nutty, and rich.

Ingredients

5 graham cracker sheets (full box size), placed in a Ziploc bag, and beat to crumbs or 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons white sugar

1 8 oz. package cream cheese
3/4 cup peanut butter – natural preferred
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening or coconut oil
1/2 cup powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 375º. Spray 4 large, oven-safe mugs or wide, short glasses with non-stick cooking spray

7. Pour on equal amounts of melted chocolate over peanut butter layer. Let cool slightly, until no longer liquid.
