Ingredients
  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar (allulose sugar replacement works well)
  • 1 cup peanut butter (regular creamy skippy wrks best)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup heavy cream (You can substitute cool whip)
  • 1 pie crust (I prefer a store-bought 9" graham cracker crust for this recipe)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional, but really helps the chocolate)
  • buttercream (optional for topping)
  • .25 cups peanuts (chopped - optional for garnish)
Instructions
    Pie filling
  1. Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, beat together cream cheese, sugar, peanut butter and vanilla until creamy
  2. transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl - clean out stand mixer bowl
  3. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk tool, add 1 cup of heavy cream
  4. whisk on medium-low speed until frothy - about 2 minutes
  5. gradually increase speed until you are full speed and whisk until cream forms stiff peaks
    If you have trouble reaching stiff peaks, add 1 tablespoon of sugar or meringue powder to help.
  6. Gently fold whipped cream into mixture until just combined
    Don't over-mix - it will become very dense.
  7. Pour mixture into pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula
  8. Refrigerate while preparing the topping
    9. Pie topping
  9. Combine chocolate chips and coffee in a bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Check regularly and stir to avoid burning.
  10. Pour over top of pie and refrigerate overnight.
    Yes, it really needs to set overnight. It will be a mess if you try to cut it early.
  11. Optionally, prepare a buttercream and pipe around the edge.
    I made a coffee-flavored buttercream which went really well with the peanut butter and chocolate.
  12. Optionally, add chopped peanuts to top before serving.
