Green & Black's Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

I made this a little while ago when I had friends over to dinner. It's from the Green & Black's recipe book Ultimate Chocolate Recipes - the New Collection.

You need:

100g butter

100g dark chocolate

2 tbsp strong coffee

ready made sweet shortcrust pastry base

50g cream cheese

40g icing sugar

100g smooth peanut butter

30ml milk

175ml double cream

Melt the butter and chocolate in a bain marie or microwave

Whisk in the coffee and leave to cool a little

Roll out the pastry and line a loose-bottomed cake or pie tin.

Fill with baking beans and bake for about 15 minutes until the pastry case starts to turn golden.

Remove the baking beans and leave to cool. Pour the chocolate mixture into the pastry case.

Whisk the cheese, icing sugar,m peanut butter and milk until combined

Whip the cream until you have soft peaks, then fold in the peanut butter mixture.

Spoon the mixture into the pastry case on top of the chocolate

Smooth the top and chill in the fridge for 4-5 hours or overnight.

Remove from the tin to serve. This was a really nice, rich dessert but I found the coffee flavour a little overpowering (I don't particularly like coffee) and would leave it out next time.
