Mayim’s friend Joey told her about this Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie recipe, and it has become a standard in her house and in the homes of everyone she has passed it on to. It’s simple to make and tastes like a professional peanut butter cup.Top it with sliced bananas, decorate it with vegan whipped cream, or just eat it straight out of the pie dish. However you enjoy it, you will see why we just can’t get enough of this pie.

I’ve now made this a number of times, and while super rich and dense, I haven’t gotten any complaints! 😉
I do find that putting the peanut butter in the microwave with the chocolate chips helps the melting process and avoids the possibility of the chocolate burning. I’ve done it with both graham cracker and “regular” pie crusts. I’d say the “regular” helps balance out the sweetness, but again, no complaints with the sweeter one 🙂
That should be fine, it will just be thicker or thinner slices based on the size used
Is a 9″ graham pie shell big enough? the pie shell looks much bigger in the picture.
This pie was delicious, but incredibly dense. A small slice is very satisfying. Great with coconut whipped cream.
I am short on time. Can I put it in the freezer for an hour instead?
It’s a super fast recipe to make, but obviously if you need it faster than that, I can see why you’d try to shortcut the “setting” time. I don’t know that I’d freeze it, but maybe for a briefer time, like 15-30 minutes?
