CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER-CHOCOLATE TART

Calling all peanut butter fans!  Get ready to have your world rocked.  This tart is such a treat to make and eat!  The mousse-like peanut butter filling sits in a shortbread biscuit crust … and oh, that chocolate drizzle!!!  You just have to experience this; I dare you to take a bite and not say “yum”!

Prepare crust:

Preheat oven to 350F

1.  Whisk together all dry ingredients in large bowl.  Add rest of ingredients.  Mix well.
2. I like to use my hands to help mix ingredients.
3. Place crust mixture in an 8” tart pan. You want to form a ¼” thick crust.  Begin by pressing it against the sides of the pan and then firmly into the bottom.
4. Prick bottom and sides all over with a fork to allow steam to escape when baking.  Bake for 30 minutes.  Edges will appear slightly golden brown.
5. Cool completely.

Prepare filling:

1.  Open refrigerated can of coconut cream and spoon out cream from the top.  Transfer it to a large bowl and begin beating on high with hand mixer.  Gradually add half of the liquid left in the can.  Beat until peaks have formed.  This could take up to  3 – 4 minutes.
2. Place in refrigeratorIn a smaller bowl beat on high, peanut butter, vanilla, maple syrup and rest of coconut liquid from the can until creamy.
3. Fold peanut butter mixture into coconut whipped cream until mixed.  Pour into cooled crust.  Refrigerate overnight to set.
4. Prepare drizzle:  Whisk all ingredients together well.

To serve the tart:

Drizzle prepared chocolate over entire pie.  Drizzle will set immediately.
