Rich and decadent, this chilled pie combines two of my favorites- peanut butter and chocolate- for an amazing gluten-free dessert! I think this gluten-free peanut butter pie will be a hit at your house! I’m always combining peanut butter and chocolate together in favorite recipes. I make my gluten-free peanut butter brownies every few weeks! My son’s favorite brownies are these gluten-free buckeye brownies that have a yummy peanut butter layer! I’ve been drooling over peanut butter recipes forever. I have more recipes pinned and printed off that have peanut butter and chocolate in them than any other. I could make 2 new peanut butter recipes per day for the rest of my life and still not make it through all the peanut butter recipes I want to try! One on my list is these peanut butter protein balls that combine peanut butter and chocolate in a snack that’s not dessert. While brainstorming a new recipe to create through my partnership with Udi’s Gluten Free, I started thinking about how to incorporate their chocolate chip cookies in a yummy dessert. I had a number of ideas, but kept coming back to this idea of a chocolate chip cookie crust. Then I started thinking about peanut butter pie and I thought those would go amazing together. I looked at several recipes for peanut butter pie filling, and finally opted to use this peanut butter chocolate chip pie from Bake or Break as my starting point to adapt from. The crust idea worked just like I had imagined, and with just a little change to her filling recipe, it was just what I wanted. Together, I was thrilled to see the dessert that was in my head was so successful and yummy! Notes on ingredients and substitutions for this gluten-free peanut butter chocolate chip pie: I thought I’d include a few pics from making this so you know what to expect. I used this little food chopper, so I divided the cookies into two batches. If you are using a large food processor, you could do it all in one batch. I just didn’t feel like washing my big food processor! You will want to pulse them until you get to the consistency you see in the bottom photo here: After you do pulse all of the cookies until you have course crumbs with some cookie chunks in them, you’ll add brown sugar and melted butter and mix together. Simply press into a greased pie plate and bake in the oven for nine minutes. The filling is very easy to prepare with your electric mixer. It took only about 7 minutes for me to mix up the filling, including whipping cream for it. After you’ve assembled the pie, place in fridge to chill for at least four hours, or overnight (which I did) and then you can enjoy! I meant to whip up some additional whipped cream to dollop on top, so feel free to do that if you’d like some! P.S. For those that love the cute server in the photo, this is the newer version: Just Here For Dessert Server.

I hope you enjoy this gluten-free peanut butter pie too! If you or your loved ones love peanut butter and chocolate, this gluten-free chocolate chip peanut butter pie is sure to be a hit! You'll probably want to cut smaller slices than I did though! It's very rich and decadent! This recipe assumes the use of a peanut butter that has salt in it. If using a natural peanut butter without salt, add a pinch of salt in Step 1 of making the filling. If you're unable to find the Udi's cookies I used, feel free to replace with homemade or other brand of gluten-free cookies - just weigh them out to close to the 8 oz. I used.

I've made this dairy free several times. I use Tofutti Cream Cheese and either vegan Truwhip, (sold next to Coolwhip, and make sure to get the vegan one, not just the gf one if you need dairy free)or Silk Heavy Whipping Cream (whipped, and you only need 12oz out of 16 ox carton). I think it needs more sugar when made with the whipping cream, but I was also using a peanut butter that didn't have sugar.

If I'm using the kind of peanut butter that is made with icing powdered sugar, do I need to add the powdered sugar?

Hi - if I don’t use these exact cookies but use a crispier type cookie, still chocolate chip but not soft and chewy, should I add more brown sugar or butter to help soften?
Thanks!

Yes, I think that would be a good idea! But it really shouldn't take much - maybe an extra tbsp of butter? And no more brown sugar.
