Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (graham cracker or pastry)
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Chocolate Layer
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust: If using a pre-made crust, place it in the refrigerator to chill while making the fillings. If using a homemade crust, bake according to package or recipe instructions and let cool completely.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter and powdered sugar together until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined.
- Make the Chocolate Ganache: Heat the heavy cream until just simmering and pour over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Allow the ganache to cool slightly but remain pourable.
- Assemble the Swirl Pie: Pour the peanut butter filling into the chilled pie crust and smooth the surface. Drizzle spoonfuls of the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter filling. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the chocolate and peanut butter layers together to create a marbled effect.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and the swirls have set. Slice and serve chilled for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth filling; crunchy peanut butter will change the texture.
- Allow the chocolate ganache to cool slightly before swirling to prevent mixing too much and losing the swirl effect.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pie crust.
- This pie is best served within 2 days but can be refrigerated up to 4 days.
- Optional: garnish with chopped peanuts or whipped cream before serving.
