If you’re a fan of no-bake treats, then this chocolate chip butter pie is a must-try. With the unbeatable combination of chocolate and peanut butter, this heavenly pie can be enjoyed in two ways – either with a frozen, ice cream-like consistency or as a gooey, soft pie.

Let’s Gather the Ingredients

Crust:

  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 3/4 c. graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Filling:

  • 1 c. creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 c. heavy cream
  • 1 c. mini chocolate chips
  • 3/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp vanilla

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Creating the Perfect Crust

  • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until combined.
  • Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, making sure to cover the bottom completely. Push the crumbs about 2 inches up the side of the pie plate.
  • Place the pie crust in the freezer while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Whip up the Cream

  • Beat the heavy cream until it holds peaks. Keep it in the fridge for now.

Step 3: Creamy Peanut Butter Filling

  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add the sugar and mix well until incorporated.
  • Now, add the peanut butter and vanilla. Stir well, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 4: Create the Chocolate Chip Filling

  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.
  • Add the mini chocolate chips and beat until evenly incorporated into the filling.

Step 5: Assemble and Freeze

  • Pour the chocolate chip peanut butter filling into the prepared crust.
  • Keep the pie in the freezer until it becomes firm.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

  • If you’re planning to serve the pie more than half an hour after making it, store it in the freezer and thaw for about 20 minutes for a frozen, ice cream-like consistency.
  • For a gooey, soft pie, thaw for a longer time in the fridge.
