How to Make Homemade Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the chocolate chips, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the eggs.
- Temper the eggs by slowly whisking in about 1/2 cup of the hot chocolate mixture. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
- Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes more, stirring constantly, until the pudding has thickened. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and peanut butter until melted and smooth.
- Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Cool completely.
- Pour the cooled peanut butter chocolate filling into your prepared pie crust.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream (optional) and enjoy!
