Ingredients
- 3 cups milk chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons Mild vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter, not all-natural
- 1 2/3 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 6 tablespoons (3 oz) unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Have ready a 9 1/2-inch (24 cm) tart with fluted sides and a removable bottom (or a springform pan), as well as a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave 1 1/2 cups (255 g) of the chocolate chips and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil on high in 20-second bursts, stirring with a flexible spatula after each burst, until smooth, about 1 minute 20 seconds total.
- Spread the melted chocolate on the bottom of the tart pan and up the sides (as best you can) with the back of a spoon. (Don’t wash the bowl, as you’ll use it again.)☞ TESTER TIP: Give the tart pan a few gentle taps on the counter after filling with the chocolate to help evenly distribute it.
- Set the tart pan on the baking sheet and place in the freezer to chill until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Transfer the peanut butter mixture to the chocolate-coated tart pan and evenly spread with a flexible spatula.
- Microwave the remaining chocolate and oil in the same microwave-safe bowl you used previously, and pour it over the peanut butter filling, smoothing the top with an offset spatula, if you have one, or your flexible spatula.
- Freeze until the sides of the pan easily pop off, about 45 minutes. The longer you wait, the easier they will pop.
- Once removed, use a small paring knife to dislodge the base from the bottom of the cup. Let sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting. Slice with a large chef’s knife, dipping the knife in hot water and drying it in between cuts for the cleanest slices.
- Keep the cup, wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to a week.
