Pie Crust
- 1 pre-made pie crust (graham cracker or traditional)
Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Prepare the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer or a sturdy spoon to mix everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips into the peanut butter mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling without breaking.
- Fill the crust: Pour the peanut butter and chocolate chip filling evenly into the prepared pie crust, spreading the top smooth with a spatula.
- Chill the pie: Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firmly set. This chilling step allows the pie to solidify and develop a perfect sliceable texture.
- Serve: Once set, slice the pie and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with extra chocolate chips or whipped cream before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese and peanut butter for the creamiest texture.
- For a crunchy texture, substitute some of the chocolate chips with chopped peanuts.
- If you prefer a crust with a little more flavor, toast the pie crust slightly before filling.
- This pie should be kept refrigerated and is best eaten within 2-3 days.
- To reduce sweetness, you can adjust the sugar quantity to 1/2 cup instead of 3/4 cup.
