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 the mixture is evenly combined and resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan to form the crust.
- Make the peanut butter filling: In another bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth and well blended.
- Whip the cream: In a separate clean bowl, whip the heavy cream with a mixer until stiff peaks form, indicating it’s fully whipped and holds shape.
- Fold whipped cream into peanut butter: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to maintain airiness and create a light, fluffy filling.
- Assemble the pie: Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust.
- Melt chocolate topping: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips with the milk until smooth and creamy, stirring occasionally.
- Top the pie: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set and firm, before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to solidify.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother filling; crunchy peanut butter will affect texture.
- Ensure heavy cream is cold before whipping for best results.
- For a richer chocolate topping, use semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- The pie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To make slicing easier, let the pie sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting.
