- 10 4 3/4 x 2 1/2-inch graham crackers, broken into pieces
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 ounces best-quality milk chocolate, plus more for curls
- 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (4 ounces)
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- Place the graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until fine crumbs are formed.
- Transfer to a medium bowl, and add the butter.
- Stir with a fork until thoroughly combined.
- Place the crumbs in a 13 3/4 x 4 1/4-inch rectangular tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Press the crumbs up the sides of the pan to form the edge of the tart and then evenly over the bottom of the pan.

- Finely chop the chocolate, and place in a medium bowl.
- Place 1/2 cup cream in a small saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a boil.
- Pour over the chopped chocolate, and set aside for 5 minutes to yield chocolate ganache.

- Set in the ice bath until the ganache is cool, whisking constantly.
