Description

This Chocolate Bottomed Peanut Butter Pie is a luscious no-bake dessert combining a rich chocolate base with a creamy peanut butter filling. Layered over a classic graham cracker crust and topped with whipped topping and optional garnishes, it’s an easy-to-make treat perfect for any occasion that satisfies both chocolate and peanut butter cravings.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust and Chocolate Layer

  • 1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (plus extra for garnish)

Garnish (Optional)

  • Chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Base: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with butter in 30-second increments, stirring after each until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into the bottom of the graham cracker crust and spread evenly to form a chocolate layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and set while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined, maintaining a light and fluffy texture.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling evenly over the chilled chocolate layer in the pie crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top layer for a clean finish.
  5. Chill Until Set: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours to allow it to firm up properly before serving.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, optionally garnish with extra whipped topping, chopped peanuts, or chocolate shavings for additional texture and flavor. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate layer, increase chocolate chips up to 1 cup.
  • If you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, substitute the graham cracker crust with a chocolate cookie crust.
