Ingredients

Scale

1 pre-made chocolate cookie pie crust
2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Filling

In a large bowl, mix together the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 2: Fill the Crust

Spoon the peanut butter mixture into the chocolate cookie crust, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Ganache

In a heatproof bowl, heat the heavy whipping cream until it’s just about to boil. Pour it over the chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until fully melted and smooth. Then, add the milk and stir again to create a pourable ganache.

Step 4: Assemble the Pie

Pour the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter layer. Tilt the pan gently to spread evenly.

Step 5: Garnish

Top with chopped peanuts, if using, for added crunch and presentation.

Step 6: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the pie is firm and set

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best ganache.
Let the pie sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before slicing if it’s too firm from the fridge.
