Description
Make individual servings of rich chocolate and peanut butter pie directly in jars. This no-bake recipe requires minimal effort and sets quickly in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a bowl. Pour in melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Divide the crumb mixture evenly among 4 small (8-ounce) mason jars, pressing the mixture down to form the crust layer. Place the jars in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until just combined.
- Spoon or pipe half of the peanut butter filling evenly over the crusts in the four jars. Return the jars to the refrigerator.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Pour or spoon the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer in each jar.
- Top with the remaining peanut butter filling. Chill the jars for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute chocolate wafers or vanilla wafers for graham crackers in the crust.
- For a firmer chocolate layer, use 4 ounces of melted semi-sweet chocolate instead of chips and milk.
- These jars keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
