Description

Indulge in this rich and creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter Temptation Pie, a no-bake dessert that combines a chocolate cookie crust with a luscious peanut butter cream cheese filling, topped with a glossy chocolate ganache. Perfect for peanut butter and chocolate lovers alike, this easy-to-make pie is a crowd-pleaser that sets in the refrigerator for a smooth and decadent treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made chocolate cookie crust (9-inch)

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (plus extra for garnish)

Chocolate Ganache

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Garnish (optional)

  • Chopped peanuts
  • Chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Carefully fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is fully combined and light.
  2. Assemble the Filling: Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the prepared chocolate cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even layer.
  3. Make the Chocolate Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat just until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let this sit for about 2 minutes to soften the chocolate, then stir gently until the ganache is smooth and glossy.
  4. Top the Pie: Allow the ganache to cool slightly, then pour it over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly over the surface to cover the filling completely.
  5. Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until it is fully set and firm to the touch.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, add additional whipped topping along with chopped peanuts and chocolate shavings if desired to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • For added texture and crunch, mix crushed pretzels or chopped peanut butter cups into the peanut butter filling before spreading it into the crust.
  • This pie can be prepared a day in advance and kept refrigerated until ready to serve, making it ideal for parties and gatherings.
