Ingredients for peanut butter pie

Pouring the peanut butter filling into the prepared base

What you need to make peanut butter pie

Peanut butter – Use your favourite smooth peanut butter for this recipe. You will use about one cup of peanut butter.

Oreo biscuits – Plain, filled oreos are crushed to create a no bake crust for your pie. You will use 2 packets of oreos or 240g.

Butter – Melted butter is used to hold your base together. Use salted or unsalted depending on your preference.

Thickened cream – Thickened cream is used to give your filling structure and softness while not adding any more sugar or richness. You can replace this with heavy whipping cream. If you do so, you will need to increase your marshmallows to about 250g and your pie will come out  a bit on the sweeter side.

Marshmallows – The marshmallows in this recipe are melted down to form the filling of your pie. marshmallows are also the only sweetener that you will use in your filling. The pink and white combo of marshmallows are totally fine. The pink will not make any difference to the colour of your finished pie.

Dark chocolate – Dark chocolate is the perfect finishing tough to your peanut butter pie. I like to use this as an opportunity to theme it to match the occasion. You can leave this out if you prefer or even swap it out for a different topping.

Finishing touches

Dark chocolate is the perfect flavour to add an extra layer of richness to your peanut butter pie.

Here are 3 different ideas for you to garnish your peanut butter pie

– Chocolate pieces

You can roughly chop pieces of dark chocolate to sprinkle over the top of your pie. How about the perfect option for a spooky halloween themed pie? Pour melted chocolate into chocolate moulds and let them set. Place them on top of your peanut butter pie after slicing it for serving.

– Dark chocolate ganache

Melt chocolate in hot whipping cream (200g chocolate to 75g cream) to make a thick ganache that can be poured on top of your pie. This will be thick enough to hold its shape and will be easy to slice through.

– Chocolate whipped cream

Whip a 1/2 cup of whipping cream with 1 tablespoon cocoa and 2 tablespoons of icing sugar. Whip until your cream is a thick piping consistency and pipe over your set pie just before serving.

Ooooorrrrr…. why not do all 3 like I have done here! Start with the ganache, pipe on whipped cream and then decorate with chocolate pieces. Yum!
