Ingredients

For the crust

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup whipped topping
1/2 cup chocolate chips

For the topping

1/4 cup chocolate chips
Optional: whipped cream for serving

Directions

Prepare the crust

In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.

Make the filling

In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and fully combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping and chocolate chips.

Assemble the pie

Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the prepared crust. Smooth out the top with a spatula.

Add the topping

Sprinkle the additional chocolate chips on top of the filling. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Serve

Slice and serve cold, optionally garnished with whipped cream.

Tips for the Best Pie

To ensure your pie turns out perfectly, use cream cheese that is softened at room temperature. This will help achieve a smooth and lump-free filling. Additionally, don't skimp on chilling time; allowing the pie to set for a full two hours will enhance its texture, making it easier to slice and serve.

If you want to take it up a notch, consider using different flavored chocolate chips. Dark chocolate or even peanut butter chips can add a unique twist to the traditional recipe, making it your own and adding layers of flavor.

Storage and Serving Suggestions

This Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, making it a fantastic make-ahead dessert. Just be sure to cover it well to prevent it from absorbing any flavors from other foods in the fridge.

When serving, keep it simple—or go wild! Pairing each slice with a dollop of whipped cream can elevate the experience, or serve it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. Enjoy this delightful dessert any way you like!
