My friends can't get enough of this peanut butter chocolate chip pie. It's become my secret weapon when I need to wow a crowd without sweating in the kitchen for hours. The smooth peanut buttery center packed with chocolate chips creates a taste combo that gets gobbled up at every get-together.
The first time I whipped this up was for my sister's birthday when our oven suddenly quit working. What started as a kitchen disaster has turned into our family's favorite sweet treat, and now my nieces always jump in to help squish the crust whenever we're together.
Ingredients
Step-by-Step Instructions

The tiny chocolate chips really make this dessert special. I found this out by accident when I ran out of big chips one time. Now I never go back because these little guys spread out perfectly in every spoonful, giving you that ideal chocolate and peanut butter mix in each bite.

Common Recipe Questions
- → What's the trick to making a good pie crust?
Stir graham cracker crumbs with white sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until everything looks wet. Push this mix into your pie dish and stick it in the freezer while you work on the filling.
- → How can I make sure my filling turns out super smooth?
Make sure your cream cheese is soft, then mix it really well with sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla. Add the whipped cream by folding it in carefully so you don't lose all the fluffiness.
- → Will chunky peanut butter work instead of smooth?
Sure thing, chunky works too if you want some extra bits to bite into, but your filling won't be quite as smooth overall.
- → What's the best way to dish up this pie?
Let the pie sit out for about 20 minutes if you want it firmer, or longer in your fridge for a softer, gooier treat. If slices are tough to get out, run warm water over your knife first.
- → Can I fix this pie up ahead of time?
You bet! Keep it frozen until you're ready to eat it. Just don't forget to let it thaw a bit before serving so it tastes its best.
