How to Make No-Bake Peanut Butter Fudge Swirl Pie
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
In a bowl:
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar
Press the mixture firmly into a pie dish, covering the bottom and sides.
Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to set.
Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Filling
In a large bowl:
- Beat cream cheese until smooth
- Add peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla
- Mix until creamy and well combined
Gently fold in the whipped topping until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Fudge
Heat heavy cream until hot (not boiling).
Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 2–3 minutes.
Stir until smooth and glossy.
Let it cool slightly so it thickens but remains pourable.
Step 4: Assemble the Pie
- Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the chilled crust
- Drizzle chocolate fudge over the top
- Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the chocolate into the filling
Step 5: Chill
Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, or until fully set.
For best results, chill overnight.
Step 6: Serve
Slice and serve chilled.
Optional: top with whipped cream or extra chocolate drizzle.
Tips for Best Results
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer texture
