5.1 from 22 reviews

A rich and creamy no-bake chocolate peanut butter pie that combines a buttery graham cracker crust with a smooth peanut butter filling and a decadent chocolate topping. Perfect for an indulgent dessert that sets in the fridge and requires no oven time.

Ingredients

Scale

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 bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until fully mixed. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan to form a firm crust.
  2. Make the filling: In a separate bowl, blend the creamy peanut butter with the powdered sugar until smooth and well combined.
  3. Whip the cream: Whip the heavy cream using a mixer until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and airy texture.
  4. Combine filling and cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream to keep the filling light.
  5. Assemble the pie: Spoon and spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the prepared crust.
  6. Prepare the topping: Melt the chocolate chips with the milk in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler until smooth and glossy.
  7. Add the topping: Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter filling, spreading it gently to cover the surface.
  8. Chill and set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and firm enough to slice.

Notes

  • Use smooth peanut butter for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • Allow the pie to chill completely to ensure it holds its shape when sliced.
  • Optional: Serve with additional whipped cream on top for extra richness.
  • For a thicker crust, add an extra ¼ cup of graham cracker crumbs.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
