Ingredients
Crust
  • 1½ cups flour
  • 6 Tbsp. sugar
  • ¾ cup (1½ sticks) cold butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
Filling
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse or kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Ganache
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • A pinch of salt
  • ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. To make the crust, combine the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until moist clumps form. Press into the bottom and up sides of a 9-inch tart pan.
  3. Bake until golden at the edges, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
  4. In a bowl, combine all of the filling ingredients. Beat until light and fluffy, then spread into the cooled tart shell. Place the tart in the refrigerator while you make the ganache.
  5. To make the ganache, combine the chocolate chips, salt and heavy cream in a glass bowl or measuring cup. Microwave until the chocolate is melted. Stir until smooth, then spread it over the peanut butter filling.
  6. Chill until set. Remove from refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving.
