Chocolate and peanut butter is one of the best flavor combos out there. Even people who are neutral on PB & J perk up at the thought of a Reese’s cup. Well this simple-to-make double chocolate peanut butter pie embodies all that flavor and more – without even turning on the oven.
To say this pie is easy would be an understatement but there is a slight time commitment with this dessert. Each layer of the pie needs to chill before moving onto the next layer so you’ll have to allow time for that. I think the time involved is about the same as a baked pie would need to be made and cooled – but with a lot less work from start to finish.
The crust is simple one made from crushed Oreo cookies. Use a food processor to get them to a sandy texture then press into a pie pan. Once that’s chilled you can add your peanut butter layer.
If I had to compare the filling to something I’d say it resembles something like a thicker version of peanut butter frosting. It’s absolutely delicious! Once that layer has chilled then you’re ready for the top layer, the second dose of chocolate in this double chocolate peanut butter pie. This topping is a type of ganache that goes on thick, but doesn’t set super hard. This means you can cut slices from this pie easily without the top cracking or getting smooshed.
You’ll want to serve this pie cold for the best flavor. This way the filling and topping literally melt in your mouth for an unforgettable taste experience.
