Miniature Chocolate Peanut Butter Pies Recipe

1 1/4 c Graham cracker crumbs

5 T Butter, unsalted; melted

1/2 c Sour cream; plus 2 T

2 1/2 T Sugar, confectioners

2 T Whipping cream

1/2 c Peanut butter, creamy;

plus -2 T (*NOT* chunky or old-fashioned style!) 1/2 c Whipping cream

4 oz Semi-sweet chocolate; chopped

Mix graham cracker crumbs and butter in a small bowl. Press crumb mixture on the bottom and up the sides of 24 mini-muffin tins (each about 1 3/4 inches in diameter). Place in freezer for 20 minutes.

Whisk sour cream, powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons whipping cream in a bowl to blend. Add peanut butter and whisk until smooth. Spoon 1 tablespoon of peanut butter mixture into each graham cracker crust; freeze 3 hours.

Bring 1/2 cup cream to simmer in a heavy saucepan. Reduce heat to low. Add chocolate; stir until melted. Cool completely, stirring occasionally.

Spoon 2 teaspoons of the chocolate mixture over each peanut-butter pie. Place in freezer until set. (can be prepared 1 week ahead. Keep frozen.)

Using the tip of small sharp knife as an aid, gently pry pies from tins. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
