Ingredients

  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 (9 inch) prepared chocolate cookie crumb crust
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
  • 4 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 2 ½ cups thawed frozen whipped topping

  • Cook Time: 5 mins
  • Additional Time: 2 hrs 45 mins
  • Total Time: 3 hrs
  • Servings: 8
  • Yield: 1 9-inch pie

  • Place chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Take 2/3 cup of the chocolate and place between wax or parchment paper. Roll it very thin until it is the size of a 9-inch pie; cool for 2 minutes in the refrigerator (it should still be flexible). Take off one side of paper and press into the pie crust. Cool further in the refrigerator, about 10 minutes; remove the other side of the parchment/wax paper.
  • Whip cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; split into 2. Take the first mixture and add peanut butter and 1 cup whipped topping. Place this into the prepared pie crust and cool in the freezer until set, about 1 hour.
  • Add 2/3 cup of the chocolate mixture and 1 cup whipped topping to the second cream cheese mixture. Place this into the prepared pie crust and cool in the freezer until set, about 1 hour.
  • Take another 2/3 cup chocolate mixture and place in wax or parchment paper. Roll it thin until it is the size of the pie. Cool for 2 minutes, until solid but flexible. Remove 1 side of the parchment paper and place this over. Shape and place it back into the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes. Remove the other paper.
  • Top with the remaining whipped topping. Add a little water to any remaining chocolate mixture until you can drizzle it onto the pie; drizzle and serve.
