Why you'll love truffle pie

Chocolate peanut butter truffle pie is a great answer to the "what can I bring to this event?" question. Everyone loves that delicious duo, and this is easily made ahead so you know it will have the time to set up perfectly.

• That classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter is deliciously rich like a truffle. A small slice is all you need. 
• Silky smooth with an almost mousse consistency, this filling works with a chocolate cookie crust or a traditional pie crust - we love both options. 
• A very short ingredient list with a quick and easy method, the most difficult part of this recipe is waiting for the pie to cool and set.

The next time you need a dessert for an event or are just craving chocolate, make this easy chocolate peanut butter truffle pie. Everyone loves it!

Oreo crust or pie crust

When I first made chocolate peanut butter pie, I used a pie crust. The flaky pastry with this rich filling is delicious. More recently, I use a chocolate cookie crust, using gluten free Oreo. Not only is an Oreo crust so easy, it is just another layer of chocolate and that is always a good thing.

Since we are talking crust, I can also recommend chocolate peanut butter pie with a ginger cookie crust. The deep spicy warmth is an excellent base for chocolate.

How to serve this pie

Chocolate peanut butter pie is perfect on its own, and is only elevated with any or all of these toppings.

• Peanut butter drizzle: combine peanut butter with
• Whipped cream
• Finely chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
• Fresh berries

For a truly over the top pie, make bourbon truffles to top each slice!

How long does this truffle pie last?

My rule for maximum flavor and freshness is to enjoy this recipe within three or four days.

Refrigerate leftover pie in a glass container with a tightly fitting lid.
