No bake chocolate and peanut butter pie

Have you ever tried to make a no bake chocolate and peanut butter pie before? This was my first time and for sure it will not be my last. 

I experimented with the peanut butter filling while making these chocolate and peanut butter pie. I didn’t know how the pie would turn out but in the end it was great. You could omit it if you like but I think it complements the chocolate flavor rather well.

A few things to note about this chocolate and peanut butter pie:

1. My chocolate and peanut butter pie wasn’t that sweet at all because I used 72% dark chocolate. You could use the same kind but if you like it sweeter use a lower cocoa content dark chocolate like 60% instead.
2. I also used a 9 inch tart pan with removable bottom. I like it because once the pie solidifies it is easier to get out. You could you a regular pie plate if you like too though.
3. I used ginger cookies for the base of the pie, which weren’t that sweet either. They were from Trader Joes. Use any kind of cookies you may like.

This pie is rather simple. The crust does not need to be baked. I have seen many variations in which you do but I didn’t for my version. I hope you get to try this pie. You won’t be disappointed :-)

Enjoy!
