  • Chill Thoroughly: Allowing the pie to chill for a few hours helps it set properly and enhances the flavors.
  • Decorate: Top with chopped peanuts or whipped cream for an extra touch.

Variations

  • Nut Allergies: Use sun butter or a nut-free alternative if needed.
  • Extra Richness: Add a layer of chocolate ganache on top before chilling.
  • Different Crust: Swap graham cracker for an Oreo or cookie crust for a chocolatey twist.
