Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie

This chocolate chip peanut butter pie is rich, creamy, and tastes like a peanut butter cup in slice form. The filling is fluffy from whipped cream, balanced by tangy cream cheese, and dotted with mini chocolate chips in every bite. It’s a no-bake-style dessert that feels fancy but comes together fast. Perfect for holidays, potlucks, or anytime you want an easy make-ahead treat. Keep it frozen for a cool, ice-cream-like texture or thaw it longer for a softer, mousse-y pie.

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp melted butter
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

1. Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined.
2. Press the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, covering the bottom and pushing crumbs about 2 inches up the sides.
3. Freeze the crust while you make the filling (about 15 minutes).
4. Beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then refrigerate the whipped cream.
5. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in 3/4 cup granulated sugar until fully incorporated.
6. Add peanut butter and vanilla, then mix well, scraping down the bowl as needed.
7. Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fluffy.
8. Fold in mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
9. Pour filling into the frozen crust and smooth the top.
10. Freeze until firm (about 4 hours) before serving.

Tips

For extra-creaminess, make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing so the filling stays smooth and lump-free.

If you’re serving later, keep the pie frozen and thaw 20 minutes for a firmer “ice cream” slice or thaw longer in the fridge for a softer, gooier texture.

FAQ

Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of mini chips?
Yes—mini chips distribute more evenly, but regular chips work if that’s what you have.

How long does it need to freeze to slice cleanly?
About 4 hours is usually enough, but overnight is even better for neat slices.

Can I store leftovers?
Yes—wrap well and keep in the freezer; thaw briefly before slicing and serving.

What if I want it softer, like mousse?
Thaw it longer in the refrigerator until it reaches your preferred softness.
