Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made chocolate pie crust
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Remove the pre-made chocolate pie crust from its packaging and set aside at room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes smooth and well-incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a separate clean mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Using a chilled whisk or electric mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream. Stir until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
- Spread the peanut butter cream mixture evenly into the chocolate pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the pie in a decorative pattern, using a spoon or piping bag.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours or until the filling is firm and set.
- Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly.
- Slice into 8 equal portions and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with additional chocolate drizzle or chopped peanuts.
Tips
- Make sure your heavy cream is ice-cold before whipping to achieve the perfect stiff peaks.
- Use a high-quality creamy peanut butter for the most smooth and rich flavor.
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk before whipping cream to help it set faster and more effectively.
- For a more professional look, use a piping bag to drizzle the chocolate for precise, elegant lines.
- Allow the pie to set completely in the refrigerator - patience is key to achieving the perfect texture.
- For an extra touch, consider topping with chopped peanuts or a sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the flavor profile.
- If you want a firmer filling, you can add a small amount of cream cheese to the peanut butter mixture.
