Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pie

 

 

I love any kind of pie and for me, pie is all about the crust. Whether it be a buttery pastry pie crust, an oreo crust, or a graham cracker crust, I love them all.

A tube of refrigerated cookie dough makes an awesome pie crust too and it’s so easy. Just press the cookie dough into the pie pan and bake it until it starts to get golden.

The crust is the only part of this pie that needs to be baked. The filling is a simple combination of peanut butter, powdered sugar, water, and melted butter. It’s a dense filling with lots of peanut butter flavor, just like the middle of a peanut butter cup. On top is a wonderful chocolate layer made by combining melted chocolate chips and butter.

Chocolate Topped Peanut Butter Pie with Sugar Cookie Crust Recipe Tips:

Let the cookie dough sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes so that it will be easier to spread in the pie pan.

Be careful not to overcook the cookie crust or it will make a hard and crunchy pie crust.

I like to serve this pie with a little whipped cream but it is perfectly delicious on its own.

For extra peanut butter flavor you could use a tube of peanut butter cookie dough for the crust.
