Thoughts
I improvised this recipe trying to replicate the peanut butter tarts they serve at Bridgehead. This did not at all turn out like those – everything was far softer to the point I called it a mousse instead of a tart. Still good, just different.
The crust did not hold together. The cookie crumbs would need to be finer, or perhaps use a flour plus cocoa crust recipe.
