Pie Crust
- 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Prepare the filling mixture. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the peanut butter, sugar, and melted butter, mixing until fully combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is incorporated before adding the next.
- Prepare the chocolate chips. Slightly melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler until pourable but not fully liquid.
- Assemble the pie. Pour the cream cheese and peanut butter filling into the pre-made pie crust, spreading evenly. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the filling in an even pattern.
- Create the swirl effect. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl through the filling and chocolate to create a marbled pattern without overmixing.
- Bake the pie. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pie for 35-40 minutes or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool and serve. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to firm up.
Notes
- Use a room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling texture.
- Do not over-swirl the chocolate to maintain the distinct peanut butter and chocolate patterns.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the pie crust with a gluten-free variety.
- Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
