Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups (190 grams) chocolate cookies, crushed
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) butter, melted
Filling:
- 1 cup (250 grams) creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) whipped cream
Topping:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Pulverize chocolate cookies into fine crumbs and blend with melted butter until thoroughly combined.
- Press the moistened cookie mixture firmly across the entire bottom and sides of a pie dish, creating an even, compact crust.
- Whip peanut butter with powdered sugar until silky and uniform in texture.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, maintaining a light, airy consistency.
- Carefully spread the creamy peanut butter mixture over the prepared cookie crust, ensuring a smooth, level surface.
- Melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until completely liquid and glossy.
- Drizzle the warm chocolate across the pie’s surface in an artistic, zigzag pattern.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours, or until the filling becomes firm and set.
- Before serving, allow the pie to rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality chocolate cookies with rich flavor to enhance the crust’s taste and texture.
- Use room temperature peanut butter and powdered sugar for smoother, lump-free mixing that blends effortlessly.
- Chill the pie dish beforehand to help the crust set quickly and maintain a crisp base when pressed.
- For a gluten-free version, swap chocolate cookies with gluten-free graham crackers or almond flour-based cookies to accommodate dietary restrictions.
