Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped peanuts over the chocolate whipped cream before serving.
• Substitute crunchy peanut butter for smooth if you prefer more texture in the filling.
• Use chocolate graham crackers for a deeper chocolate flavor in the crust.
• If you don’t have an electric mixer, chill your mixing bowl and beaters to help whip the cream by hand more easily.

Storage

Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it well wrapped to prevent the crust from becoming soggy. When ready to serve again, slice and enjoy cold; reheating is not recommended as it’s best served chilled.

FAQs

Can I use natural peanut butter for this recipe?

Natural peanut butter may be grainier and less creamy, which could affect the texture of the filling. If using natural peanut butter, stir well and consider whipping the filling a bit longer for smoothness.

Is it possible to make this pie gluten-free?

Yes, substitute the graham cracker crumbs with gluten-free graham cracker crumbs or crushed gluten-free cookies to make the crust gluten-free without compromising taste.
