Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 pre-made pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the pre-made pie crust from refrigeration and allow it to come to room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for best results.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform in color.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Carefully transfer the batter into the pre-made pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula and ensuring the mixture reaches all edges.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set completely.
- Slice into 8 wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Optional: top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your pie crust is at room temperature before filling it. This helps it bake evenly and prevents cracking.
- Mixing Technique: When creaming the peanut butter and sugars, use an electric mixer on medium speed for a smooth, fluffy texture. This will ensure your pie has a delightful consistency.
- Egg Incorporation: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. This helps achieve a well-blended batter and a perfect rise during baking.
- Don’t Overmix: When folding in the chocolate chips, be gentle. Overmixing can lead to a denser pie, so just fold until they’re evenly distributed.
- Baking Time: Keep an eye on your pie as it bakes. Every oven is different; start checking at the 30-minute mark to ensure it doesn’t overbake.
- Cooling Time: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack. This step is crucial for the filling to set properly, making it easier to slice and serve.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra indulgent treat, serve your pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
