Prep Time20 minutes
Total Time2 hours 20 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups chocolate cookie crumbs crushed
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • 1 cup chocolate chips melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Stir until crumbs are coated. Press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate to chill the crust.
  • In a large bowl, beat peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened cream cheese until smooth. Scrape down the sides for even mixing.
  • Gently fold whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture with a spatula to keep the filling light and airy.
  • Pour the peanut butter filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  • Drizzle or spread melted chocolate over the chilled pie just before serving. Refrigerate to allow chocolate to set.

Equipment

  • 9-inch Pie Dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or hand whisk
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter and low-glycemic sweeteners for a healthier version.
  • Overmixing the filling can deflate the whipped topping; fold gently.
  • Allow the pie to chill overnight for best texture and easier slicing.
  • Substitute gluten-free cookie crumbs to make this pie gluten-free.
  • Let melted chocolate cool slightly before spreading to avoid melting the filling.
