Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie brings together a rich chocolate crust and a smooth, creamy peanut butter filling that feels special without feeling complicated. This pie dessert recipe fits right in at a family gathering or anytime a chocolate lover wants something comforting and impressive.

Like my Snickers Rice Krispie treats and my Chocolate Peanut butter fudge, this dessert encompasses one of my favorite combinations chocolate and peanuts!!

From the first taste to the last crumb, the balance of flavors makes this whole pie hard to resist.

How to make peanut butter chocolate pie

3. Melt the butter and pour over the crushed cookies.  Stir to combine until it looks like wet sand.  
4. Press the cookie mixture into the bottom and sides of the pan.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.  Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
6. Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter.  Mix until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
7. Add in the powdered sugar and mix well.
8. Add in the whipped topping and mix until smooth, scraping down the sides often.
9. Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust, spreading until even.
10. Place in the fridge and allow to cool for approximately 4 hours.  
11. To serve, melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over the top of the pie.  Slice and serve.

Tips for the best results

• Let the cream cheese reach room temperature so the peanut butter mixture blends smoothly
• Use a food processor for evenly crushed Oreo cookies and a firm chocolate crust
• Scrape the sides of the bowl often to keep the filling silky
• Press the cookie crumbs firmly into the pie pan for a sturdy pie crust
• Chill until fully set so the top of pie holds its shape when sliced

Substitutions and variations

• Swap the Oreo crust for a graham cracker crust if desired
• Use natural peanut butter for a slightly less sweet filling
• Drizzle melted milk chocolate or dark chocolates over the top of pie instead of semi sweet chocolate chips
• Add chopped peanut butter cups as a garnish before serving
• Try a thin layer of chocolate ganache for a richer chocolate crust flavor
