Ingredients
Crust
- 1 (9-inch) chocolate cookie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Chocolate Swirl
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat until fully incorporated.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until the filling is light and fluffy.
- Fill the Crust: Spoon the peanut butter filling evenly into the chocolate cookie crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Melt Chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the heavy cream in 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals until smooth and glossy.
- Create Chocolate Swirls: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling, then use a toothpick or knife to swirl the chocolate into the surface, creating a marbled effect.
- Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until fully set and firm.
- Serve: Slice the pie and serve chilled for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra decadence, top with chopped peanut butter cups or drizzle melted peanut butter over the pie before chilling.
- You can substitute homemade whipped cream for the store-bought whipped topping if preferred.
- The pie can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
