Amazing Peanut Butter Pie


I admit it!  I am a chocoholic.  Add that to the fact that everyone in my family loves peanut butter and you have a dream come true with this decadent dessert.  The pie is creamy and rich, and it is so worth the calories in one small slice. We adapted this recipe from one found at http://www.kevinandamanda.com.

1 chocolate graham cracker crust
1 stick of butter, softened (very soft is best)
1 ½ cups of creamy peanut butter
2 Tablespoons of creamy peanut butter
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
1 cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup heavy whipping cream


In a mixing bowl, add the softened butter, 1 ½ cup of peanut butter, and 1 cup confectioner’s sugar.  Beat on low speed until smooth and creamy.  Make sure all the butter has been thoroughly mixed in and you don’t have any lumps.  Spoon the peanut butter mixture in the pie crust.  Smooth out the top. Place in the freezer while making chocolate topping.
Place chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in a small glass bowl. (Must use glass).  In a saucepan over medium heat, bring heavy whipping cream to a rolling simmer. Pour the cream over the chocolate chips and peanut butter in the small bowl. Let hot cream melt the peanut butter and chocolate chips for 5 minutes, and then whisk until completely smooth. Pour the chocolate layer over the peanut butter layer. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hours until ready to serve.
