Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter Pies Recipe

These Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter Pies are the perfect indulgent treat, combining a rich chocolate crust with a creamy peanut butter filling, topped with luscious whipped cream and chocolate drizzle.

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos, without the filling)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips, melted
  • Crushed peanuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until evenly coated.
  2. Press the mixture into the bottoms of mini pie tins or a muffin tray lined with cupcake liners. Press firmly to create a solid crust.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling:

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  2. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until fully incorporated.

3. Assemble the Pies:

  1. Spoon the peanut butter mixture over the chilled crusts, filling each tin to the top. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the filling is firm.

4. Add the Topping:

  1. Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.
  2. Pipe or spoon the whipped cream over the chilled pies.
  3. Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle crushed peanuts on top for an extra crunch.

5. Serve and Enjoy:
Carefully remove the pies from the tins or liners and serve chilled.

Tips for Success:

  • Use room-temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Keep the pies refrigerated until serving to maintain the creamy texture.
  • Substitute almond butter or Nutella for peanut butter for a fun twist.

Enjoy these mini pies as the perfect no-bake dessert for any occasion!
