Now THIS is a dessert. If you love peanut butter and chocolate then you have met your ultimate dessert. It’s incredible. First, a layer of Oreo crust because…of course. Then a layer of French Silk Pie. I tried a chocolate pudding pie layer but ultimately went with a French Silk Pie layer because….of course. On top of the layers of chocolate goodness is a thick layer of rich and creamy peanut putter pie. It’s got major peanut butter flavor.
This dessert is a show stopper. I would also recommend starting with a small slice because mama is rich. Oh so good though. It’s not a hard pie to make, just takes steps and time. Completely worth the extra time.
Check out the recipe below and make this for your peanut butter chocolate lover friends and family. They will be SO impressed!

- In a mixer, beat the butter for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture slowly into the butter mixture while the mixer is going. Beaqt on high for about 5 minutes, scrape down the sides as needed.
- In a separate bowl with a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Add this to the chocolate mixture and fold in by hand until combined.
- Pour the chocolate mixture onto the Oreo crust and spread out evenly. Place in the fridge to chill for at least an hour.
- Peanut Butter Layer: In a mixer, beat the cream cheese, 3/4 cup powdered sugar, and the peanut butter for about 3 minutes.
