Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Chocolate Swirl Topping
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted unsalted butter until well mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Make the peanut butter filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated and fluffy. Evenly spread this peanut butter mixture into the chilled crust.
- Create the chocolate swirl topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips together with the heavy cream by heating in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Drizzle this melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the chocolate gently into the filling to create a marbled effect.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until it is fully set. Once chilled, slice and serve the pie cold for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For an extra chocolate punch, use an Oreo cookie crust instead of standard chocolate cookie crumbs.
- Garnish the pie with chopped peanuts or mini chocolate chips to add texture and enhance the peanut butter flavor.
