Peanut Butter Pie

Let’s face it! Most of us love that combination of peanut butter and chocolate. I mean, what’s not to love? It’s delicious and they just pair so well together! If you’re like me, that means you’re going to love this pie! The peanut butter flavor definitely comes through. Then when you add that little hint of chocolate on top of the pie, it’s just perfection!

How long does this take to make?

Other than the amazing flavor, that’s really the best part about this pie! You can throw it together in about 5 minutes! It takes about a minute to put the filling ingredients in your mixer. Then while you let your mixer take care of that, you can chop or grate your chocolate. So in the time your filling is mixed, you are completely ready to put it in the pie and top it with your chocolate. That takes about a minute. Honestly, if you need a quick, go-to dessert at the last minute, this one’s perfect! Quick, easy and delicious!

Can I use a different pie crust?

Yes, you can use whatever you like! I especially like it with a chocolate cookie crust. Oreo used to make one that was just perfect for this pie and brought out that extra chocolate flavor. It’s been a little bit hard to find in recent years, though! You could absolutely make your own chocolate crust if you like, or make your own graham cracker crust. It just depends on how much time you want it to take! For me, part of the beauty of this pie is how quick and easy it is, so I prefer to have the ready-made crust just to simplify things.

Can I freeze this pie?

You sure could! In fact, for those hot summer days, sometimes I prefer to have this pie frozen instead of simply chilled in the fridge! You can’t go wrong either way, though. With a sharp knife, you can still slice it up straight from the freezer.
