Peanut butter torte from Baking - From My Home to Yours (page 283) by Dorie Greenspan

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Made this for a loved one's birthday. Suggest saving it for a large gathering. It's far too rich to keep in your own refrigerator for a week! But wow is it delicious.

    One of the best-received desserts I've made. A few notes to remember: when the recipe calls for "oreo cookies" it means the WHOLE cookie, cream filling and all; At the suggestion of a blogger, I upped the crust by 1/4 to 30 cookies and 5 Tbsp butter and I'd definitely do this again. My torte had about 6 hours of chilling and the textures and temperatures were just fine.

    I've made this for a couple of big parties and have gotten raves! A peanut butter and chocolate lover's dream, it's creamy, crunchy, salty and sweet. It's quite rich, so I serve pretty small portions--Dorie says 6 to 8 servings but I'd easily get 10 or more out of it. Pretty easy to put together though it does need to be made ahead so it can set up. The tip about running a hair dryer over the springform pan to help with releasing it really works--I'd forgot to butter the pan last time and thought for sure it would stick, but it came out cleanly and looked beautiful!

    This is an impressive dessert! The technique is quite easy even though there are a few steps. You will wow everyone if you serve this! Don't skip the step of refrigerating the mousse overnight.

    This consists of an Oreo crust filled with a light, rich peanut butter mousse, topped with chocolate ganache and chopped roasted peanuts – it’s every bit as delicious as it sounds!
