Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cake

Ingredients
  Crust

Hydrox sandwich cookies, filling and all

Preparation
  Combine all ingredients in a food processor just until blended. Spoon into the crust-lined pan and smooth the top. Chill while you prepare the chocolate layer.

Chocolate Layer
11 (1 ounce) squares high quality chocolate
6 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Chop chocolate very fine, place it in a medium-size mixing bowl, and set aside. Have yolks ready in the top portion of a double boiler. Heat cream just until it comes to a boil. While whisking constantly, slowly pour hot cream into the yolks. Cook in the double boiler over simmering water, stirring constantly, until thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Strain cream mixture into the chocolate and gently blend until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. It will be very thick, almost like pudding. Pour over the chilled peanut butter layer. Smooth the top and chill.

For best results, prepare one day ahead of serving. Slice with a knife dipped in a tall glass of hot water, then wiped dry.
