Description
A no-bake dessert that combines creamy peanut butter filling with a rich chocolate topping, perfect for gatherings and celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings or chopped peanuts for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare for a delicious journey ahead.
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter in a mixing bowl. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a pie dish to create your crust, then bake for 8-10 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- Mix the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened cream cheese together until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, combining them until just mixed. Pour this delightful filling into your cooled crust.
- Melt the chocolate chips with the milk in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract, then allow it to cool slightly before pouring it over the peanut butter filling.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 240 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings or chopped peanuts if desired.
Notes
For an even smoother filling, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature. You can substitute with a store-bought crust for convenience.
