Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 9" chocolate cookie crust see note
- ¼ cup dry roasted peanuts roughly chopped
- 1 ounce dark chocolate melted (see notes)
Instructions
- Beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, sugar, cream, and vanilla with an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl. Mix at a lower speed until the ingredients are combined and then beat at high speed until the filling is smooth and creamy.
- Spread the filling in the pie crust, sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top, and then drizzle the melted chocolate over the top. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for eight hours.
- When you’re ready to serve the pie, take it out of the fridge and remove the plastic wrap. Slice the pie into 8 pieces.
Notes
Pie crust: You can swap the chocolate cookie crust for a graham cracker crust.
Melting the chocolate: Break the chocolate into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each one, until the chocolate is melted.
Cream cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature so it blends smoothly into the filling.
Chilling time: The pie needs at least 8 hours in the refrigerator to set, so plan to make it ahead of time.
