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
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan to form the crust.
- Make the filling: In another bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to create a light and airy filling.
- Assemble the pie: Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Prepare the topping: Melt the chocolate chips with milk in a microwave-safe bowl in short intervals or over a double boiler until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter filling, spreading lightly if needed.
- Chill and set: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set and firm. Once chilled, slice and serve.
Notes
- For a crunchy texture, add chopped peanuts to the peanut butter filling.
- Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet option.
- Ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping for best results.
- Store leftover pie in the refrigerator covered, and consume within 3 days.
- To melt chocolate smoothly, stir frequently and avoid overheating.
