minutesIndulge in the ultimate no-bake dessert: a creamy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cream Pie. Featuring a rich peanut butter filling, a delicate graham cracker crust, and a generous topping of whipped cream and mini chocolate chips, this pie is pure bliss and surprisingly easy to make!
Ingredients
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed, or 2 cups homemade whipped cream
½ cup mini chocolate chips, plus more for garnish
Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add peanut butter to the cream cheese and beat until well combined.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in half of the thawed whipped topping or homemade whipped cream until just combined.
- Fold in ½ cup of mini chocolate chips into the peanut butter mixture.
- Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading evenly.
- Top the pie with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it to the edges.
- Generously sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips over the whipped topping for garnish.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely. Slice and serve cold.
Notes
- The Chill Factor: Don’t rush the chilling! This pie needs ample time in the fridge (at least 4 hours, preferably overnight) to firm up properly. A well-chilled pie means cleaner slices and a perfectly creamy texture.
- Homemade vs. Store-Bought: While store-bought whipped topping makes this pie a breeze, don’t shy away from making your own fresh whipped cream (heavy cream, a touch of powdered sugar, and vanilla). It truly elevates the flavor to another level, adding a delicate richness!
- Peanut Butter Perfection: Use a good quality creamy peanut butter for the best results. Natural, stir-style peanut butters can sometimes be too oily and affect the pie’s set, so a classic creamy variety is often your best bet for this recipe.
