Description

This No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie with Chocolate Whipped Cream is a creamy, luscious dessert combining the rich flavors of peanut butter and chocolate. Using a pre-made graham cracker crust, this easy-to-make pie requires no baking and is perfect for warm days or when you want a quick yet indulgent treat. The pie features a smooth peanut butter and cream cheese filling, topped with a decadent chocolate whipped cream loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chips for added texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (for folding)

Chocolate Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Press the pre-made graham cracker crust evenly into a 9-inch pie dish. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling to ensure it firms up and maintains its shape.
  2. Make the peanut butter filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until fully incorporated, creating a sweet and rich base.
  3. Whip the heavy cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip half of the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This will help lighten the peanut butter mixture, giving the filling a more airy and fluffy texture.
  4. Fold whipped cream into filling: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture to incorporate air without deflating the whipped cream, resulting in a smooth, fluffy filling.
  5. Assemble the pie filling: Pour the peanut butter filling into the chilled graham cracker crust and spread it evenly. Return the pie to the refrigerator to chill further while preparing the topping, allowing the filling to set slightly.
  6. Prepare the chocolate whipped cream topping: In a clean bowl, beat the remaining heavy whipping cream with cocoa powder and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to add a lovely chocolate crunch.
  7. Top the pie: Spread the chocolate whipped cream mixture evenly over the peanut butter filling, creating a smooth, decorative top layer.
  8. Chill before serving: Place the completed pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least two hours. This chilling step allows the pie to set properly, making it easier to slice and serve while ensuring the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use a chilled bowl when whipping cream to achieve better volume and stiffness.
  • For a crunchier texture, consider adding chopped peanuts on top before serving.
  • Substitute the pre-made crust with a homemade graham cracker crust if desired.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • This pie should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 2-3 days for best freshness.
