FAQ

• What if I don’t have a premade chocolate cookie crust?It is possible to make your own by taking chocolate cookies, crushing them, and adding melted butter. Then press the mixture into a pie pan.
• Can I use chunky peanut butter instead of creamy?Certainly, but the pie will have a different texture, with peanut pieces embedded throughout.
• Is it possible to make this pie dairy-free?Replace the cream cheese and whipped topping with dairy-free substitutes such as almond or coconut-based products.
• How should I store the pie?When you’re ready to serve, take the pie from the freezer, and remove the covering of plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
• How long should I let the pie sit before serving?Let the pie sit at room temperature for around 10-15 minutes. This will allow the pie to be more sliceable when it comes time to divvy it up.
• Can I prepare this pie in advance?Certainly, the pie can be made a week in advance and stashed in the freezer.
• What should I do if I don’t have vanilla extract?It can be skipped, or an almond or maple extract can be used as an alternative for a different flavor profile.

Frozen Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pie Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Replace creamy peanut butter with smooth almond butter for a different, nutty flavor.
Substitute mascarpone cheese for cream cheese to create a richer dessert.
When a recipe calls for powdered sugar, using coconut sugar instead yields a delightful, subtle caramel flavor.
Substitute Greek yogurt for whipped topping, and you have a healthier, more delicious dessert. Greek yogurt is thicker, creamier, and much healthier than typical whipped topping. It’s also a lot more flavorful. Use it instead of your typical whipped topping, and your pie immediately tastes much better.
Use a graham cracker crust instead of a chocolate cookie crust for a lighter base.

Pro Tips

1. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened and the peanut butter is at room temperature before mixing. This will help create a smoother blend and make incorporation easier.
