Description

This No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie is a luscious and creamy dessert combining a buttery graham cracker crust with a smooth peanut butter filling and a rich chocolate topping. Perfect for when you want an indulgent treat without turning on the oven, it sets beautifully in the refrigerator for an easy yet impressive dessert.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted unsalted butter until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan to form the crust.
  2. Make the peanut butter filling: In another bowl, blend the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This means when you lift the beaters, the cream holds firm peaks without collapsing.
  4. Combine filling and whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a rubber spatula, taking care to keep the mixture light and airy without deflating the whipped cream.
  5. Fill the crust: Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Prepare the chocolate topping: Melt the chocolate chips with the milk in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Pour this melted chocolate over the filling, evenly coating the surface.
  7. Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to allow it to set fully before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For easier slicing, let the pie chill overnight.
  • You can substitute crunchy peanut butter for extra texture if desired.
  • Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips to vary the chocolate intensity.
  • Make sure the heavy cream is cold before whipping for best results.
  • Keep the pie refrigerated to maintain its texture and prevent melting.
