This rich no-bake peanut butter pie features a buttery shortbread cookie crust, a fluffy peanut butter cheesecake filling, and a creamy chocolate topping. Perfect for make-ahead entertaining with no oven required.
Stir the cookie crumbs and melted butter together with a fork. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate and chill until ready to fill.
Beat the cream cheese until smooth with a hand mixer. Mix in the peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Fold in 8 ounces of Cool Whip until combined, leaving a few small lumps if needed. Spread the filling into the prepared crust.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Stir in about 1 cup of the remaining Cool Whip and spread over the pie.
Chill the pie overnight, or at least 4 hours, before serving. Garnish with additional Cool Whip if desired.
