Ingredients

Crust
1 3/4 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
pinch salt
Filling
6 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups peanut butter (smooth, not natural or chunky)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups heavy cream
Garnish
1 oz semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 tablespoons peanut butter

Steps:

To make the crust: Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine the cookie crumbs, brown sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter and toss with a fork until all of the crumbs are moistened (the mixture will be quite wet). Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes so the crust is firm, then bake until set, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. To make the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and salt on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in the peanut butter and vanilla. (If you don't have a second bowl for your stand mixer either transfer the cream cheese mixture to another bowl and wash the first, or do the next step with a hand mixer.) Switch to the whisk attachment on your mixer and beat the heavy cream until you have soft peaks. Take about 1/3 of the whipped cream and stir it into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the remaining 2/3 of the whipped cream. Transfer the filling to the cooled crust and spread in an even layer. Freeze uncovered for at least 4 hours or up to 1 day covered with plastic wrap. To garnish the pie: Microwave chocolate until melted and smooth. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and snip a tiny bit off the corner. Hold the bag over the pie and drizzle the melted chocolate in a zig-zag pattern. Put the peanut butter in a small saucepan set over low heat and melt it, stirring frequently. Add the melted peanut butter to a resealable plastic bag, snip off a corner and drizzle over the pie. Let stand for about 10 minutes to set. Remove the pie from the freezer about 10-15 minutes before you are ready to serve.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still delicious. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.

I've tried many frozen chocolate peanut butter pie recipes and this one is by far the best. The filling is rich and creamy and the crust is perfectly flaky.

This pie is a bit too rich for me. I think I would have preferred a lighter filling.

I had some trouble getting the pie crust to set. I ended up having to bake it for a few extra minutes.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter. But I'm so glad I did! The peanut butter flavor is subtle and it pairs perfectly with the chocolate.
