Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust (deep dish, 9-inch)
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish if not already done, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add melted butter to the peanut butter mixture and stir well until fully incorporated.
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Mix in the vanilla extract, flour, and salt. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
Pour the prepared filling into the pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the pie on a baking sheet and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is just slightly wobbly (it will set as it cools).
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, about 2 hours.
Once cooled, optionally garnish with whipped cream and chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Southern Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pie!
