Instructions
-
Prepare the Base: Begin by preparing your graham cracker pie crust. For the best results, we highly recommend using the Graham Cracker Cheesecake Crust #7537, which will provide a sturdy, flavorful foundation for this dessert. Place the crust in the freezer to keep it cold while you prepare the filling.
-
Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate syrup, and creamy peanut butter. Use a whisk or electric mixer to blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. The sweetened condensed milk adds a velvety texture, while the chocolate syrup and peanut butter give the filling its rich, indulgent flavor.
-
Fold in the Whipped Topping: Once your filling mixture is smooth and well-blended, gently fold in the non-dairy whipped topping. This will help lighten the mixture and create a fluffy texture that contrasts nicely with the crunchy crust. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to keep as much air in the whipped topping as possible.
-
Assemble the Pie: Carefully spoon the peanut butter and chocolate mixture into your prepared graham cracker pie crust. Use a spatula to evenly spread the filling, smoothing it out to the edges.
-
Freeze the Pie: Place the pie in the freezer and allow it to chill for at least 6 hours, or overnight if possible. This step is crucial for allowing the filling to set and the flavors to meld together. Once fully chilled, the pie will have a firm, creamy texture that holds its shape when sliced.
-
Serve: After freezing, remove the pie from the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before slicing for the easiest cut. This pie is best served slightly frozen for that perfect balance of creamy and firm. If you have leftovers (which might be unlikely), store them back in the freezer for a sweet treat later.
Recipe Yield
This recipe yields 1 pie, which can be sliced into 8-10 generous servings.
Additional Tips
- For Extra Flavor: Feel free to drizzle more chocolate syrup or top the pie with crushed peanuts, chocolate chips, or whipped cream before serving for an extra touch of indulgence.
- Substitute for Dairy-Free Option: This recipe is already dairy-free thanks to the use of non-dairy whipped topping, but you can also use a dairy-free crust if necessary.
