The Chef: Robert Gonzalez
The Restaurant: Prime One Twelve
The Dish: Snickers Peanut Butter Pie

Ingredients:

4 cups of ground oreos
2 cups of melted butter
32 oz. of semi-sweet chocolate
3 cups of heavy cream
5 ground snickers
12 oz. of butter
8 oz. light brown sugar
16 oz. powder sugar
28 oz. peanut butter
32 oz. whipped cream for topping

Method of Preparation:

-Start by making a crust. Combine melted butter with crushed oreo cookies. Then, pat the mixture into the bottom and the sides of a baking pie pan. (A 12 inch deep pie pan works best). Bake this in a 350 degree oven for 12 minutes and set it to the side.

-Next, make a chocolate ganache. In a large pot, bring heavy cream to a boil and whisk in semi-sweet chocolate pieces. Pour about three cups of the chocolate sauce over the pie shell and refrigerate until firm.

-Now, in a food processor grind snickers until it forms a dough. Flatten the dough over the firm chocolate in the pie crust.

-Lastly, prepare the peanut butter filling. In a mixer, combine room temperature butter, brown sugar, peanut butter and then carefully fold in whipped cream. Apply this over the snickers layer and top it with whipped cream.

To Plate:

You can garnish with grated dark chocolate and grated peanut brittle.

Serves: 8
