Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham crackers crumbs (or digestive biscuits for a halal alternative)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted (or halal-certified margarine)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (halal-certified)
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter (ensure it’s halal)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream (or halal-certified whipped topping)
Chocolate Swirl:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (halal-certified)
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream (halal-certified)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs, then mix with melted butter and sugar until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie dish to form an even crust. Refrigerate the crust for at least 15 minutes to set.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, smooth peanut butter, and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the peanut butter mixture, ensuring to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Create the Chocolate Swirl: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or cream over a double boiler or in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling in the pie dish, then use a knife to gently swirl the chocolate into the filling, creating a marbled effect.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly. For a firmer texture, freeze the pie for 1-2 hours before serving. Slice and enjoy with optional accompaniments like fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute coconut cream, vegan cream cheese, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Use gluten-free cookies in place of graham crackers for a gluten-free option.
- To add a salty crunch, incorporate crushed pretzels into the crust or sprinkle on top.
- A caramel drizzle can add extra sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Swirling the chocolate requires a gentle hand to preserve the marbled appearance.
- Folding in whipped cream gently ensures a light and airy filling texture.
