Description
A rich and creamy no-bake chocolate peanut butter pie with fluffy peanut butter filling, silky chocolate ganache, and a crunchy graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
- 1 prepared graham cracker crust (9-inch)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 ounces)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, for chocolate layer
- Chocolate shavings, optional
- Crushed peanut butter cups, optional
- Whipped cream, optional
- Chopped roasted peanuts, optional
Instructions
- Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a saucepan until warm but not boiling.
- Pour the warm cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Spread half of the chocolate mixture into the bottom of the graham cracker crust and refrigerate.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in batches until light and fluffy.
- Spoon the filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly.
- Drizzle the remaining chocolate mixture over the top and swirl decoratively if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
- Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, chopped peanuts, or crushed peanut butter cups before serving if desired.
Notes
- Chilling overnight improves the texture and flavor.
- Use regular creamy peanut butter for the smoothest filling.
- A chocolate cookie crust can be used instead of graham cracker crust.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- The pie freezes well for up to 1 month.
