Ingredients

Hot Fudge Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon table salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

Peanut Butter Pie:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, plus 2 tablespoons, divided
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, plus whipped cream, for garnish, optional
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ounces shaved milk chocolate
  • Chopped peanuts, optional

Directions

1 (9-inch) baked chocolate cookie pie crust

Sauce: Add the cream, brown sugar, corn syrup, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract to a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the chopped chocolate. Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and the sauce has thickened, roughly 3 to 4 minutes. Let the sauce cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Pie: In a large bowl combine the cream cheese, 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar and the peanut butter until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until thick and light. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract. Continue to whip until stiff peaks form.

Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Pour the batter into the pie shell, sprinkle with the shaved milk chocolate and freeze for 4 hours.

If desired, serve with the hot fudge sauce, whipped cream, and chopped peanuts.

    This is really easy and delicious but make sure to not take it out of the freezer too early. The first time that I made this pie it thawed out much faster than expected and was (delicious mush. Just not the same. I don't remember exactly how long I left it out, but I would think no more than 30 minutes in the summer time.

    I made this and everyone loved it! It's very rich so I could only eat a small portion. I also prefer without the hot fudge sauce but everyone else liked the sauce. Instead of the chocolate shavings on top I chopped up some peanut butter cups and used those. It's something I'll definitely make again!
