Description

A delicious dessert combining rich flavors of peanut butter and chocolate that requires no baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups whipping cream
  • 1 1/4 cups creamy or chunky peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup chopped chocolate-covered peanut butter cups (about 15 pieces)
  • 1 chocolate cookie crumb pie shell
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 6 chocolate-covered peanut butter cups, halved

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of the whipping cream, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 1/4 cups of peanut butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until smooth. Let it cool to room temperature.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 2 cups of whipping cream and 3/4 cup of powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
  3. Fold the cooled peanut butter mixture into the whipped cream until well combined. Gently fold in the chopped chocolate-covered peanut butter cups.
  4. Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chocolate cookie crumb pie shell. Top with the halved peanut butter cups. Freeze the pie for about 3 hours or until nearly firm.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in increments of 30 seconds, whisking after each heating until smooth. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream until completely smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  6. Once the pie is nearly firm, drizzle the ganache over the top and decorate with additional peanut butter cups. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

For best results, let the peanut butter mixture cool before folding it into the whipped cream. You can use either creamy or chunky peanut butter based on your preference.
