Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Cream Cheese — Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature before using to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Peanut Butter — Use creamy peanut butter for a silky filling. Avoid using natural peanut butter with a separated oil layer.
  • Chocolate Sauce — You can use store-bought chocolate sauce or make your own by melting chocolate and mixing it with a little cream.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a crunchy texture, you can add crushed peanuts to the graham cracker crust.
  • To make the pie even more indulgent, drizzle some caramel sauce over the chocolate sauce.
  • If you prefer a sweeter filling, you can increase the amount of powdered sugar.
  • Decorate the pie with additional whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an elegant presentation.
  • Serve the pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.

Serving advice

Slice the Peanut Butter Pie into wedges and serve chilled. It pairs perfectly with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts on top.

Presentation advice

To present the Peanut Butter Pie beautifully, garnish each slice with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts. Serve on a dessert plate with a decorative swirl of whipped cream.
