🤔 FAQs
These are the questions we are most frequently asked about making a peanut butter pie.
Elvis was well-known for his love of indulgent foods, including banana cream pie and peanut butter. This gives me confidence that he would have appreciated this chocolate peanut butter pie!
Yes. Freeze this pie for one month and thaw it in the fridge.
Peanut butter pie originated from the State of Georgia in America.
Peanut butter pie consists of chocolate pie crust, creamy and sweet whipped peanut butter filling, and toppings such as chopped candy, chopped peanuts, and drizzled chocolate.
👩🏻🍳 Tips
- Avoid natural peanut butter for this dessert. The natural oil will separate, and the pie can become oily.
- Allow the cream cheese to soften and the peanut butter to reach room temperature to achieve an ultra-smooth filling.
- It’s important to chill this pie for at least 2 hours. This allows the flavors to develop and for the pie to firm.
- Clean your sharp knife between cuts made across the pie. This will result in pretty slices, and you won’t get much pie filling building up on the knife.
📚 Variations
- I’ve used a premade pie crust, but you could make it from scratch by combining 2 cups of crushed Oreo cookies (24 cookies) with 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Chocolate Graham crackers could also be used. Allow the pie crust to chill for 30 minutes in the fridge or 10 minutes in the freezer.
- Add a chocolate ganache as the first layer over the chocolate pie crust for extra decadence!
- Use another nut butter for this dessert if you like. Make sure it’s not a natural butter as the oil tends to separate.
- Top this chocolate peanut butter pie with other chocolate peanut butter candy, chopped peanuts, and chocolate drizzle.
🥫 Storage
This chocolate peanut butter pie can be stored for several days (whole or as leftover slices) in the fridge or for a month in the freezer.
Wrap the entire pie with plastic wrap to prevent other odors in the fridge from being absorbed by the pie or prevent freezer burn in the freezer. Single slices can be stored in an airtight container if too tricky to wrap.
Thaw frozen chocolate peanut butter pie in the fridge before serving.
