How to Make Jordan Loves Peanut Butter Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Make the crust: Combine 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs with 4 tablespoons (57g) melted butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  3. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces (227g) cream cheese (softened), 1 cup (240g) peanut butter, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold in 8 ounces (227g) Cool Whip.
  5. Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust.
  6. Make the chocolate topping: In a medium saucepan, melt 6 ounces (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons (30g) butter over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly until thickened enough to pour.
  8. Pour the chocolate topping over the peanut butter filling, leaving approximately 1 inch of the filling visible around the edge.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set. Let the pie sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the chocolate to soften slightly for easier cutting.
