  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract a hint of vanilla enhances flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt just a pinch
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream whipped to perfection
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for the rich chocolate topping
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to keep chocolate smooth

Equipment

  • 9-inch Pie Pan
  • Large Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if using a homemade pie crust. If using a store-bought crust, follow package instructions.
  2. Step 2: Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake until golden brown. Let it cool completely.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the peanut butter mixture until well combined.
  5. Step 5: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
  6. Step 6: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
  7. Step 7: Pour the melted chocolate over the set peanut butter filling, spreading evenly. Return the pie to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
  8. Step 8: Slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Buckeye Pie!
