How to make a chocolate peanut butter pie from scratch! A rich peanut butter filling in a chocolate lined graham cracker crust topped with more chocolate and real whipped cream. Super rich but not cloyingly sweet like other peanut butter pie recipes out there. This was the second most popular pie I made when working as the ‘pie lady’ at a local diner.
What you’ll need:
1 graham cracker crust
1/2 cup chocolate chips
2 Tbsp heavy cream
1 (8oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups whipped topping
additional chocolate chips for topping (optional)
whipped cream for topping (see how I make mine here: http://youtu.be/Zbh9rLHGq7E )
Melt chocolate chips in a small bowl with the heavy cream in a microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Pour into a prepared graham cracker crust and spread evenly over the bottom and up the sides. Set aside to cool.
For the filling, mix cream cheese and peanut butter until blended. Gradually add in milk. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and mix well. Finally, add in whipped topping. Stir and mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Pour filling into the chocolate lined crust until absolutely full. Some filling may remain. Place in freezer for 1 hour until set. Top pie with more chocolate chips that have been melted and whipped cream. Place into refrigerator for another 6-8 hours until fully set. Enjoy!

OMG how in the world did i miss this video! It looks scrumptious. Never tried this kind of pie before, I'd be too scared to as I'd prob eat the whole thing when it's my treat time..lol great video YUM
We dont have cool whip in UK. whats a substitute? whipped cream?
Yep, whipped cream would work just fine!
I've been watching all your videos and now I've got a bad case of the munchies!!! Thanks a lot!!! jk lol
i gonna make this for my friends birthday because he really likes peanut butter lool 😀
If he's a PB fan, he'll love this!
You wonder why u have extra filling left over maybe its the whip attachment incorporating air into your mixture. Or maybe cuz u eyeball the cool whip, just a thought…liked the recipe simple yet looked good
hey, mini choc. chips would be good to add instead of the choc. on bottom? just an idea
why didn't you just use your home made whip cream for your pie? Just wondering.
Your pie is drop-dead-gorgeous. Could I have just a bite??
that looks divine!!!
we don't have cool whip in italy..:( what can i substitute it with?
is the ganache supposed to be hard when it comes out of the freezer
I love your videos!!! And this looks so good! I'm def going to have to try this!!
in the video you said half of an 8 ounce container of cool whip which would be 4 oz but in the description you put 2 cups of whipped topping thats 16 oz so which is it
Does everything still go well if you have to mix it all by hand?
I'm all about making my food look pretty. I love it.
The fact that u “eyeball” your cool whip I believe is the reason you have some leftover on occasion..mystery solved ..you’re welcome
You are making my eyes bigger than my stomach. Love you already. 🌸💐
Thanks for such a short video, and for putting the ingredients and instructions in the description box!! Much appreciated! Going to make this one of these days. I save so many recipes I find on YouTube, and one by one, I make them all. Thanks again!

Can this be left in the frig overnight?
Hi Jason! Just dropping in to say I’m getting ready to make this tonight! I also made it once before about 6 years ago, shortly after I started following your channel 😃. BTW, I really miss your cooking videos!!!
