Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie

Stacey – June 6, 2012 – 60 Comments

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie with piece missingEach summer, we take a trip down to the beautiful white sands of Gulf Shores, Alabama. One of the highlights of those trips is always our visit to Original Oyster House because of their scrumptious Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie.  I mean, their other food is great, too, but there’s something about that pie. 

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie with piece missingAfter our most recent trip, I set out to recreate this masterpiece and I think I’ve come pretty dang close!  It’s best served straight out of the freezer with a big dollop of whipped cream or even a drizzle of chocolate syrup.  This stuff is awesome!  Mmmm, mmmm, good!  

And it’s pretty easy, too!

A few things to keep in mind with this recipe…

Start with room temperature cream cheese. You can even zap it in the microwave to get it softer. It’s really tough to get cold cream cheese to mix with anything, so make sure to get it soft. Then use a mixer to mix together the cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. 

Slice of Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter PieWhen you add the whipped topping (AKA Cool Whip), it’s actually possible to over mix with a mixer it which will make the whipped topping collapse and create a runny pie, so I recommend doing this step by hand. I add the whipped topping and use a spatula to fold it all together. This doesn’t take any special skill, but it might take a little while to get it all combined. It might seem like it’s taking forever, but it will eventually get all mixed together and smooth. 

When it comes to those chocolate chips, I much prefer the mini chocolate chips. Since this pie gets frozen, and since chocolate can get pretty hard when frozen, I think there’s less risk of dental injury with the smaller chips. (Of course, I’m just kidding about the dental injury, but the smaller chips are easier to eat when frozen.)

Slice of Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter PieAnd speaking of frozen pie, I always recommend serving this frozen, but others, as you can see in the comments below, prefer it just refrigerated. Now, I’m not going to turn down Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie in any form. You can melt it and put it in a cup as far as I’m concerned, but I just think it’s easier to slice neatly and prettier when it’s frozen. It’s delicious either way. You do you.

Y’all enjoy!

    Are the chips semi sweet or milk chocolate?
    Thank you,

      I don’t see why not. You’ll just need to bake it fully and cool before adding the filling. Enjoy!

    My husband, who only eats peanut butter chocolate desserts, said this was hands down one of the best things he’s ever eaten. It’s sooooo good! I halved the recipe, but only because I only bought one tub of cool whip by mistake. It was perfect, just enough the way it was. THANK YOU!!

    I’m sure the recipe calls for creamy peanut butter, but I always buy chunky (because that’s what the son wants) will it work with chunky or do I need to just invest in a jar of smooth. I NEED to make this pie soon!

      The 16-ounce measurement refers to the container weight, not the volume measurement. If you’re looking for volume, you’ll need about 6 1/4 cups of Cool Whip.

    I kept it in the freezer then let it thaw about 10-15 minutes so I could slice it. I served it with whipped cream (from a can) & mini chocolate chips on top.
    I plan on making it again & again! Thanks, Stacey!

    This pie definitely wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t a favorite of mine. While my parents enjoyed the pie, my sister and I found it to be far too peanut-buttery. If you love, love, love peanut butter, then this is the pie for you, however, if you were hoping to get more of the whipped cream, cream cheese and chocolate taste…this pie would disappoint. Unfortunately, while eating this pie, I couldn’t even taste the chocolate chips! (or the cream cheese and whipped cream much either) The pb taste was so strong it dominated over everything else. My dad at first taste thought the hard things in the pie were some kind of nut, not chocolate. Also, if you’re serving this pie frozen, BEWARE, it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to cut!…it is also EXTREMELY uncomfortable to eat with a fork (your fork will go half-way through the pie before getting stuck, you’ll apply more force and PANG, the fork violently clangs against the bottom of the plate due to the pie’s final abrupt give). To make the eating process easier, my family microwaved our pieces for 30 seconds. While this is a mostly negative comment, I just want to add that I’ve never been a huge pb fan, and it was a bit dumb of me to make the pie in the first place, but just beware, it is REALLY peanut buttery (even the texture of the pie is like peanut butter).
