Ingredients

Crust

• 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons melted butter

Filling

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

Prepare the Crust
In a mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 4 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until fully combined.
Press this mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, pressing firmly across the bottom and pushing up the sides about 1 to 2 inches.
Place the pie crust into the freezer while you prepare the filling.

Whip the Cream
In a clean bowl, pour in 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream and beat until stiff peaks form. Set the whipped cream in the refrigerator to keep it cold while you continue.

Make the Peanut Butter Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until completely smooth.
Add 3/4 cup granulated sugar and beat again until well combined.
Add in 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1 tablespoon vanilla, and beat until smooth and fully blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Fold in Whipped Cream
Gently fold the prepared whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Stir carefully until fully blended and the filling is fluffy.

Add the Chocolate Chips
Fold in 1 cup mini chocolate chips, mixing until they’re evenly distributed throughout the filling.

Fill the Pie Crust
Remove the crust from the freezer. Pour the peanut butter-chocolate chip filling into the crust and spread evenly with a spatula.

Freeze Until Firm
Place the pie into the freezer until fully set and firm. This will give it an ice cream-like consistency.

To Serve:
If serving the pie more than 30 minutes after preparing, keep it stored in the freezer. Before slicing, let it thaw for about 20 minutes to make slicing easier while still maintaining that frozen texture.
For a softer, gooier consistency, thaw longer in the refrigerator.
Pro Tip: If the pie crust sticks to the dish, dip the bottom of the pie plate briefly in hot water (about ½ inch in the sink) to help loosen it. Be careful not to get water into the pie!

Pro Tips and Variations

• Use a food processor to crush graham crackers for a fine crumb.
• Swap mini chocolate chips for chopped peanut butter cups for an extra treat.
• Add a chocolate drizzle or whipped cream topping for extra flair.
• To make slicing easier, run your knife under hot water before cutting.

Serving Suggestions

• Best served slightly frozen like a creamy peanut butter ice cream pie.
• Garnish with extra mini chocolate chips, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
• Perfect after a savory dinner or at any holiday gathering.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Keep the pie in the freezer, tightly covered with plastic wrap or foil.
Reheating: Not needed! Just thaw for 15–20 minutes at room temperature before serving.

FAQs

Can I use crunchy peanut butter?

Can I use a store-bought crust?
Absolutely! A premade graham cracker crust can save even more time.

Can this pie be made ahead?
Yes, you can make it a day or two in advance and store it in the freezer.
