This Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Pie recipe is “the most delicious pie of all time,” according to our recipe tester. We agree! Who doesn’t love chocolate and peanut butter? It’s a decadent dessert that is irresistible and a family favorite!

Ingredients
Piecrust:
1 sleeve of chocolate graham crackers
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted
Filling:
1-1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 bottle chocolate/peanut butter ice cream hard shell
4 large or 8 small peanut butter cups, cut into pieces

Instructions

  1. Crush graham crackers in a food processor or baggie with a rolling pin; combine with melted butter in a pie plate and form around edges with spoon or fingers. Place it in freezer while you mix the filling.
  2. Mix the filling mixture ingredients in a large bowl and whip with a hand mixer until creamy. Scoop half of the filling into the piecrust, pour half the bottle of hard shell on top, and place back in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden.
  3. Scoop the rest of the filling mixture onto the half-filled pie and pour the rest of the hard shell over the top, and place the cut up peanut butter cups over the shell and place in freezer for an additional hour or overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Hi, Colleen. We used a standard pie plate, not deep dish. If that is all you have, however, you can still use it.

I'm not familiar with the ingredient "1 bottle chocolate/peanut butter ice cream hard shell". Is this a type of liquid topping for ice cream such as caramel or fudge sauce?

Yes it is and it hardens on the ice cream. Reese's Shell Topping Chocolate and Peanut Butter
