Ingredients

  • 2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies or graham crackers, crushed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Optional: chopped peanuts or crushed mini Reese’s for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pulse cookies or graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Mix with melted butter and press into a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan. Chill in the fridge.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
  3. Spread the peanut butter filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top.
  4. Heat heavy cream until just simmering and pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
  5. Pour ganache over the peanut butter layer and spread to the edges.
  6. Refrigerate the pie for at least 3–4 hours until set.
  7. Before serving, garnish with chopped peanuts or crushed mini Reese’s if desired. Slice with a warm knife for clean cuts.

Notes

  • Use a rolling pin and zip-top bag to crush cookies if you don’t have a food processor.
  • Use shelf-stable peanut butter for the best texture.
  • To reduce sweetness, use less powdered sugar or a less sweet crust.
  • For a fluffier texture, fold in whipped topping before spreading the filling.
  • This pie is best chilled overnight and served cold.
