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.

Shirley @ gfe & All Gluten-Free Desserts says
Hey Kristina,
I drooled over this pie before, but didn't comment. 🙁 I love the simplicity of it and just shared on All Gluten-Free Desserts. 🙂 I did have a question on the recipe. You state that 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk is called for and then you indicate that 1/2 cup of the coconut cream off the top is used. So is it 1/2 cup of that coconut cream and another 1/2 cup coconut milk for a total of 1 cup of the two combined?
Thanks!
Shirley
Kristina Sloggett says
oh, THANKS Shirley! it is one cup, I edited to correct the instructions to reflect one cup. THANKS for catching that, and thank you as always for sharing! XXO
