Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie is a no-bake, rich dessert combining a buttery chocolate crust, creamy peanut butter filling, and a smooth chocolate ganache topping. It’s perfect for any occasion and incredibly easy to prepare.

Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • For the peanut butter filling:
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • For the chocolate ganache:
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate wafer crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and the crumbs are evenly coated with butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the peanut butter filling: In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter and cream cheese together until smooth and well combined. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fluffy and combined.
  3. Assemble the pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Chill the pie for at least 2 hours to set.
  4. Make the chocolate ganache: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Let the ganache cool slightly before pouring it over the chilled peanut butter filling. Spread the ganache evenly over the pie.
  5. Chill and serve: Return the pie to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 more hours to set the ganache. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure the pie is thoroughly chilled before serving to allow the layers to set properly.For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips in the ganache.For added texture, top with crushed peanut butter cups or a sprinkle of sea salt before serving.
