Chocolate Peanut Butter fans will love this frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie because it combines two of their favorite flavors in every scrumptious bite!
Why We Love It
Is there anything better than chocolate and peanut butter together? If you’re a fan (and I know there are a lot of us out there), it seriously has to be one of the best flavor duos. You can never go wrong making something with those two ingredients–at least not in my house! Peanut Butter Butterscotch Blondies, anyone? (And yes, despite the name, they do have chocolate in them!)
This might sound funny, but I used to not really be in love with the dynamic chocolate/peanut butter duo. Some friends and family would scoff at me for being “that person”. But then something changed when I was pregnant with my second.
You’re probably expecting to hear the typical craving story at this point. I can give you one, though it’s not so much about chocolate and peanut butter as it is about ice cream. Ben & Jerry’s was all I could think about and all that I wanted and mostly ate (especially in that trying third trimester!).
I’m sure some of that ice cream had chocolate and peanuts or peanut butter in it, though I wasn’t necessarily seeking it out. All I know is since that time, I have become a chocolate peanut butter convert, bordering on the verge of extreme obsession. And I’m pretty sure there’s no going back!
Just look at this scrumptious Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. Doesn’t it look so inviting with its pretty crown of whipped cream that’s bedazzled with chocolate chips? 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!
My family goes crazy for this every time I make it because it’s fun to eat, full of that wonderful chocolate peanut butter flavor, and is a great excuse to have some whipped cream! I love the fact that Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie is incredibly delicious and super easy to make!
Why You’ll Love It
If you enjoy no-bake desserts–especially ones that don’t require a lot of time or effort, then this 5-ingredient, Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie is definitely for you! There are only two things needed to make this dessert: a microwave and a freezer. 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.
That’s it. Seriously.
After Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie freezes to perfection, squirt on some 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!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Ingredients
- 1 pre-made chocolate graham cracker crust
- 2 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 ounce tub frozen whipped topping, thawed
How to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
You’ll want to gather the following equipment:
- large mixing bowl
- scraping/rubber spatula
- mixing spoon
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
Kitchen Ready Betty tips:
Before starting…
- Thaw frozen whip
Start making this delicious dessert by placing baking chocolate squares in a microwavable safe dish. Cover with plastic wrap and leave a little gap for venting. Microwave for 30 seconds; stir. If needed, return the bowl to the microwave, check every 15 seconds and stir.
Kitchen Ready Betty tip: It’s better to have a few lumps and clumps you can stir out with a spoon rather than drying out the chocolate!
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!
Kitchen Ready Betty tip: The longer Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie has a chance to solidify in the freezer, the better it will be!

Note
Full fat/regular frozen whip works best for this recipe.
This dessert uses sweetened, condensed milk. Do not substitute evaporated. They are two very different products.
Creamy peanut butter works best in this recipe. Even though I'm a fan of the crunchy, the chunks just get weird in this when frozen, so don't do it!
