A rich and creamy no-bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, luscious peanut butter filling, and a decadent chocolate ganache topping. Perfectly chilled for a refreshing and indulgent dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups whipped cream (or whipped topping)

Chocolate Ganache

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped peanuts
  • Chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar, mixing well to combine. Stir in the vanilla extract until incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and no streaks remain.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set fully.
  4. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  5. Add the Ganache Topping: Pour the cooled ganache over the chilled peanut butter pie, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Return the pie to the refrigerator for another hour to allow the ganache to set firmly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the pie with additional whipped cream, chopped peanuts, or chocolate shavings if desired. Slice into wedges and serve chilled for a refreshing and indulgent dessert.

Notes

  • For best results, chill the pie overnight to enhance flavor and texture.
  • To make the pie easier to slice, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it clean between cuts.
  • You can substitute the whipped cream with whipped topping for convenience.
  • Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps in the filling.
