Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie is a luscious dessert that perfectly balances the rich creaminess of peanut butter with the sweet crunch of chocolate chips. Easy to prepare and make-ahead friendly, this pie delights with its smooth, fluffy filling and buttery graham cracker crust, making it an irresistible treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Start by crushing graham crackers into fine crumbs and mixing them with melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into your pie pan to form an even crust, then chill in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream along with vanilla extract, ensuring the mixture stays light and fluffy.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir mini chocolate chips into the peanut butter filling evenly, so every slice promises a sweet chocolate surprise.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the creamy filling into the chilled crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Return the pie to the refrigerator for at least two hours, allowing it to firm up nicely before serving.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, consider sprinkling extra chocolate chips or a drizzle of melted chocolate on top for a beautiful finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a silkier filling texture.
  • Chill the pie for at least two hours or overnight for best firmness and flavor melding.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to preserve airiness.
  • Mini chocolate chips distribute flavor better than larger chips.
  • Let the pie sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before slicing for a softer texture, if desired.
