Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
Description
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie starts with a crust made from finely processed chocolate sandwich cookies mixed with melted butter, pressed firmly into a pie pan and chilled. The filling combines softened butter and creamy peanut butter beaten smooth, then mixed with powdered sugar to create a rich and sweet peanut butter layer. Whipped cream is spread on top to add lightness, followed by a drizzle of fudge sauce and sprinkling of chopped peanut butter cups for extra chocolatey texture and flavor.
The pie is refrigerated for several hours to let the filling set before slicing. This chilling step is essential for achieving clean slices and a firm texture. The final dessert presents a contrast between the crunchy chocolate crust, creamy peanut butter filling, and fluffy whipped topping, enhanced by the sweet fudge and peanut butter cup pieces on top.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie works well as a make-ahead dessert for gatherings, balancing sweet and savory elements from peanut butter and chocolate with a creamy finish. It offers a texture variety with crunchy edges, smooth filling, and light whipped cream topping, making it a satisfying treat for those who enjoy classic flavor combinations.
Ingredients
- 20 chocolate sandwich cookies such as oreos
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons butter melted
- 8 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups Whipped Cream can also use thawed whipped topping, sweetened
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter cups chopped, mini
- 1/4 cup fudge sauce
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Place the cookies and granulated sugar in a food processor. Process until fine crumbs form.
- Coat a 9 inch pie pan with cooking spray.
- Pour the melted butter into the cookie mixture and stir until combined.
- Firmly press the cookie mixture into the bottom and sides of the pie pan.
- Chill the crust for at least 30 minutes.
- To make the peanut butter filling, place the softened butter and peanut butter in the bowl of a mixer. Beat until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture and beat until thoroughly combined.
- Spread the peanut butter filling into an even layer in the crust.
- Spread the whipped cream over the layer of peanut butter filling. Drizzle with fudge sauce and arrange peanut butter cups on top.

Notes
- Firmly press the cookie crust into the pan using the back of a spoon or measuring cup to ensure even thickness and solidity.
- Use creamy peanut butter from the store for best texture and consistency in the filling.
- Fresh whipped cream enhances the topping, but thawed whipped topping like Cool Whip is a convenient substitute.
