Here’s a decadent Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie 🍫🥜 — creamy, rich, and no-bake!
🍫🥜 Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
Ingredients (serves 8)
Crust
- 1½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos, crushed)
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream, whipped
Topping
- ½ cup chocolate chips, melted (or chocolate ganache)
- Optional: chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Prepare the crust
- Mix cookie crumbs and melted butter until combined.
- Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Chill in fridge while making filling.
- Make the filling
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar and mix well.
- Gently fold in whipped cream until fluffy and fully combined.
- Assemble the pie
- Spread the filling over the chilled crust evenly.
- Chill in fridge 2–4 hours until set.
- Add topping
- Drizzle melted chocolate or ganache over the top.
- Sprinkle with chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings if desired.
- Serve
- Slice with a hot knife (dip in hot water and wipe dry for clean cuts).
Tips for Perfect Pie
- Whip cream to stiff peaks for a light, airy filling.
- Chill well to make slicing easier.
- Optional layer: Add a thin layer of melted chocolate on the crust before filling for extra chocolate flavor.
- Peanut butter variation: Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet, richer flavor.
Variations
- Chocolate crust: Use chocolate graham crackers or brownies as the base.
- No-bake cups: Make mini versions in cupcake liners.
- Nutty twist: Add chopped Reese’s cups or roasted peanuts inside the filling.
If you want, I can give a super creamy, restaurant-style version with a silky peanut butter mousse filling and glossy chocolate ganache—it’s show-stopping.
Do you want me to do that?
