How to Make Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie

Ingredients:

Crust:

• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Filling:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until combined. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, covering the bottom and pushing the crumbs about 2 inches up the sides. Place the crust in the freezer while preparing the filling.
2. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until it holds stiff peaks. Place it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
3. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and mix until incorporated. Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract, stirring well and scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
4. Combine: Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until well combined. Then, fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
5. Assemble the Pie: Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Freeze: Place the pie in the freezer until firm.
7. Serve: If serving more than half an hour after preparation, keep the pie in the freezer. Thaw for about 20 minutes for a frozen, ice cream-like consistency, or thaw longer in the refrigerator for a softer texture.
