No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers (or any dry cookies you have)
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup sugar (optional)
For the Filling:
- 1 cup peanut butter(any nut butter of your choice)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (or granulated sugar, if you don’t have powdered)
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- ½ cup milk (I used a protein shake I had on hand-they don’t need refrigeration!)
For Topping:
- Optional: peanut butter, crushed nuts, chocolate chips, or any dried fruit you have on hand
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar (if using). Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to create an even layer.
- Set aside while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Filling:
- In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract (if using).
- Gradually add the milk, stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You can adjust the milk quantity to achieve your desired consistency.
3. Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- If you want, drizzle your nut butter, sprinkle crushed nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit on top for added texture and flavor.
4. Set the Pie:
- Let the pie sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour to firm up slightly before serving. If you can, place it in a cool, shaded area.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice into wedges and enjoy your no-bake pie! This treat can be kept at room temperature for a few days, making it perfect for sharing during power outages.
