Frozen Peanut Butter Cup Pie. A luscious creamy frozen peanut butter cup pie that’s easy to make without an ice cream maker.
Frozen Peanut Butter Cup Pie.
You are going to find many recipes for frozen peanut butter pie if you search the web. I have tried quite a few of them too. Some have crushed peanut or vanilla wafer crusts, some even have cream cheese in the mix. Many, if not most, have sweetened condensed milk in the recipe and quite a few have chocolate on the bottom.

Finally, I got around to creating my own version of this delicious dessert. My idea was to make it sort of like an interpretation of a big frozen peanut butter cup which both my daughter and I particularly love.
I went with a chocolate cookie crumb crust to mimic the shell of the peanut butter cup while adding a crunchy element. In addition, I used the sweetened condensed milk that seemed to be in almost all the recipes.
I didn’t use cream cheese, instead opting for mascarpone cheese for a less tangy, more neutral creamy taste and texture.
Finishing off the pie.
Many of the recipes I’ve seem have an open top but I opted for a soft ganache top. I thought that would complete the peanut butter cup look and taste and would soften quickly out of the freezer before serving.
I like to use 50% dark chocolate chips for the ganache but you can use semisweet or milk chocolate as well.
From the first bite I knew I had a winner. The creamy, no churn peanut butter ice-cream centre is incredibly silky as is the soft melt-in-your-mouth ganache top with the crust adding a great textural crunch. Incredible! Peanut butter cup lovers are going to go wild for this one.
