Satisfy your chocolate peanut butter cravings with Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie--a deliciously sweet, easy no-bake, 5-ingredient frozen pie treat!
Is there anything better than chocolate and peanut butter together? If you're hooked on Peanut Butter Butterscotch Blondies like we are, then I know you agree.
Just look at this scrumptious Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. It's so inviting with its pretty crown of whipped cream. That crown is sitting on top of a frozen, chocolate peanut butter-swirled delight.
Yes, you read that right: frozen. It's almost like a special Wendy's Frosty that's served in a chocolate graham cracker crust instead of in a cup!
After the pie freezes to perfection, squirt on some Easy Homemade Whipped Cream and top it with your favorite candy accent--whether that's chocolate chips, mini peanut butter cups, or even sprinkles. Sometimes I've been know to rock all three!

👪Why you'll love it
| No Bake Dessert- There are only two things needed to make this dessert: a microwave and a freezer. This especially comes in handy in the summer months when you don't want to heat up the kitchen! Easy- Simply melt the chocolate in the microwave, mix it with the other ingredients, pour this into the pre-made crust and pop it in the freezer. Great chocolate peanut butter flavor- Anyone who loves this flavor duo will really enjoy this pie! Stores well- The longer the pie sets in the freezer, the better it gets. It will keep in the freezer for up to 5 days. |
🥘Ingredients
- chocolate graham cracker crust- I typically buy Keebler
- semi-sweet baking chocolate- opt for premium brand baking bars
- sweetened condensed milk- for sweetness and thick consistency; do not use evaporated
- creamy peanut butter- creamy works better than chunky in this recipe
- frozen whipped topping- I often use reduced fat; thaw this for a minimum of 4 hours in the fridge before making this recipe
🔪Instructions
For more detailed instructions, see the printable recipe card below
- Place baking chocolate squares in a microwavable safe dish. Microwave for 30 seconds; stir.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk to the bowl and stir until mixture is fully incorporated.
- Add the peanut butter and stir to combine.
- Fold in the thawed whipped topping.
- Spoon mixture into chocolate graham cracker crust and gently spread to the edges.
- Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight (recommended). Garnish with whip and additional chocolate and peanut butter candies as desired!
Hint: Don't overheat the chocolate. It's better to have a few lumps and clumps you can stir out with a spoon rather than drying out the chocolate in the microwave!

Feel free to switch out the chocolate graham crust with an Oreo crust for deeper chocolate flavor.

🗨️FAQ
Cool Whip is an excellent substitute with less fat and calories, which is why this recipe uses it instead of cream cheese.
