Summer is also our favorite time to travel and explore. This summer we have a lot of small trips planned and I can’t wait to get started. Boston, DC, South Carolina and Philadelphia are all on my summer road trip list. We just returned from our one big trip of the year, Italy. It was an amazing whirlwind of a week as we tried to squeeze in Rome, Florence, and Venice in just 8 days. We loved every bit of it and especially all the sweet gelato we consumed. So so good. I’ll summarize our trip in upcoming posts but for now, you can see a few highlights on my Instagram.

Ingredients

FOR GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate (I used Ghirardelli 60% Cacao)

FOR FILLING:

  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar

FOR THE MERINGUE TOPPING:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 4 large egg whites

Instructions

TO MAKE THE CRUST:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish and set aside. Combine the graham crackers crumbs and melted butter in a large bowl. Mix until mixture looks like wet sand. Press into the bottom and sides of the prepared pie dish. Bake the crust until set, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
  2. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a simmering saucepan of water. Stir until smooth. Pour the chocolate over the crust and evenly spread using an offset spatula, going up the sides of the crust. Chill until chocolate sets, at least 10 minutes.

TO MAKE FILLING:

  1. Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Clean the bowl and beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, milk and vanilla extract until smooth, about 2-3 minutes on medium speed. Reduce speed to low and add in the powdered sugar. Mix until combined.
  3. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in half of the whipped cream until just incorporated and then fold in the rest. Spoon the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until set, about 3 hours or overnight.
  5. When ready to serve, make the meringue topping.

For the Meringue Topping:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine ¾ cup sugar, water, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Keep cooking, without stirring, until syrup reaches about 230 degrees.
  2. In the meantime, whip the egg whites in a large bowl with a stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the remaining ¼ cup sugar to egg whites with mixer running.
  3. When the sugar syrup reaches 230 degrees, remove from heat. With the mixer on low speed, carefully pour the syrup down the side of the bowl in a slow steady stream. (If you are using a hand mixer, get someone to do the pouring for you). Increase speed to medium-high and whisk until the mixture completely cools and stiff peaks form about 7 minutes. Use the meringue immediately to top the pie.
  4. Dollop the meringue on the pie and use a spatula to create peaks. Use a kitchen torch to brown the meringue.
  5. Serve immediately.
