HOW TO MAKE EASY PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP PIE?
Prepare the Crust
If you’re using whole graham crackers, finely crush them in a food processor or place them in a zip bag and roll them with a rolling pin. Stir graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Add melted butter and combine.
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9” pie plate. Press hard to compact along the bottom and the sides of the pie pan. This is a no-bake pie: Chill pie crust for at least one hour before filling. Cover if chilling longer.
PREPARE THE PIE FILLING
Remove the empty bowl from the refrigerator. It should be cold. Pour the 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream into the bowl. Beat the cream until it firms up and has stiff peaks.
In another bowl add the cream cheese and whip it with a hand mixer. Add the 3/4 cup sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine the peanut butter pie filling and whipped cream. Fold it together until combined.
Add the mini chocolate chips. Stir until evenly distributed.
Pour the filling into the pie crust.
Decorate the top with the crushed Reeses Peanut Cups and I added caramel sauce on top. Place the pie into the freezer for one hour.
TIPS AND TRICKS
- Crust Options: This recipe could work with other crusts. In addition to the graham cracker crust, you could also try a shortbread or Oreo crust. Or you can buy a ready-made crust from the store.
- Filling Tip: For the best filling, use creamy peanut butter. But you can use chunky peanut butter, too.
- Whipped Cream: Instead of making homemade whipped cream it would be easier, to use Cool Whip.
- Mix-ins: You can use regular chocolate chips or try chopped candy bars such as Butterfingers, Snickers, Reeses Pieces, or Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. I’ve also used a combination of candy bars and nuts as a mix-in. You can be creative and experiment with whatever flavors you think sounds good.
- Storage: This pie can be kept in the refrigerator for up to four days.
