Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Pie is a simple, almost no-bake pie with big chocolate and peanut butter flavor.

FOR THE CRUST:
1 & 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
FOR THE FILLING:
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 & 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup miniature chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:

TO MAKE THE CRUST:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine all the crust ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring until moistened. Press the mixture evenly on the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
TO MAKE THE FILLING
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla until combined.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer with a whisk attachment to whip cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the filling into the baked crust. Refrigerate for about 4 hours, or until set, before serving. Keep pie refrigerated.
