Description
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie is a creamy, rich dessert with a graham cracker crust, a light peanut butter filling, and a topping of chocolate chips. Perfect for any occasion, it combines the delicious flavors of peanut butter and chocolate in a smooth, no-bake pie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Let it cool.
- In a clean mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
- In another bowl, mix creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light filling.
- Transfer the peanut butter filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth it out with a spatula. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results, to allow the filling to set. Slice into wedges and serve.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free cookie crumbs or crushed almonds instead of graham cracker crumbs.
- For a vegan version, swap the butter for coconut oil, use dairy-free whipped cream, and choose vegan chocolate chips.
- For a lower-sugar version, substitute the powdered sugar and chocolate chips with sugar alternatives.
