Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
- ¼ cup milk
Crust:
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Grab a mixing bowl and combine 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup peanut butter. Whisk until the mixture becomes completely silky and uniform.
- Sift 1 cup powdered sugar into the cream cheese blend. Mix thoroughly until no white streaks remain.
- Gently incorporate 1 cup whipped topping into the mixture. Fold carefully to maintain a light, airy texture.
- Transfer the creamy mixture directly into your pre-made graham cracker crust. Spread evenly using a spatula.
- Measure 1 cup chocolate chips and ¼ cup milk into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power for 45-60 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Use a spoon to create an even, glossy chocolate coating.
- Place the pie in the refrigerator at 40°F. Chill for precisely 4 hours to allow the filling to set completely.
- Remove from the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving to soften the texture slightly.
Notes
- Soften the cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- Opt for creamy peanut butter to ensure a silky, well-blended filling that spreads easily.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the graham cracker crust with an almond or coconut flour base.
- Chill the pie thoroughly to help the layers set and enhance the rich, decadent flavor profile.
