Chocolate ganache

INSTRUCTIONS :
Shortbread crust
Grease and line an 8 inch loose bottom cake tin with baking or parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 160 C (320 F). In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter for approximately 2 minutes or until pale and creamy. Sift in the powdered or icing sugar and vanilla extract and beat again. Sift in the flour and stir gently until a buttery dough forms. Pour the shortbread dough into the cake tin and press down to form my smooth layer. Bake for approximately 15-16 minutes or until golden brown all over. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
Peanut butter filling
Next, add your peanut butter, butter (make sure its nice and soft) and powdered or icing sugar to a large mixing bowl. Beat together on low using an electric mixer until combined and then turn the speed up a little and whizz until your mixture becomes nice and smooth. Pour the peanut butter mixture over your cooled shortbread crust and spread out as evenly as you can. Pop into the fridge.
