Peanut Butter Pie has a cool and creamy texture with a graham cracker crust, a thick layer of chocolate on the bottom and a creamy peanut butter filling topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and chopped peanut butter cups.
Chocolate and peanut butter doesn’t get any better than this y’all! This super creamy pie is perfect for summer entertaining, but I enjoy it anytime of year.
It takes a little doing and a lot of dirty bowls to make this pie, but it is so delicious you won’t even remember all the trouble you went to to make it.
The peanut butter layer alone makes my day. It’s made from cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, whipped cream, and peanut butter.
How could it be anything less than outrageously good?
Great Make-Ahead Dessert
Except for the crust, the whole thing is no-bake and it can easily be made 24 hours in advance to take to a weekend potluck or cookout. Just keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
