Before submerging into the recipe, let me share the necessary ingredients you’ll need:

• 8 strips of bacon
• 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup of heavy cream, whipped
• 8 oz. of cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup of powdered sugar
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of chocolate chips, melted

Now, let’s start making the crust. First, I cook the bacon until it’s crispy in a pan over medium heat. Once done, I place the bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease. I chop the bacon into small pieces and combine them in a bowl with graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. This mixture creates a unique and flavorful crust.

I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and then pack the bacon crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. After that, I bake it for about 10 minutes until golden brown. You’ll know it’s ready once it smells irresistible! I let it cool while I prepare the filling.

In a large bowl, I combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. I use a hand mixer to whip it all together until it’s smooth and fluffy. Then, I gently fold in the heavy cream and peanut butter until fully incorporated. This step ensures that each mouthful is creamy and delicious.

Next, I add in the warm, melted chocolate chips to the mixture and combine everything thoroughly. Once mixed, I pour this dreamy filling into the cooled bacon crust, smoothing it out evenly. I place the pie in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least a couple of hours. This allows the filling to set beautifully.

When it’s time to serve, I love to top my pie with some additional whipped cream and sprinkle a few bacon bits for that extra touch. You can make it as extravagant as you like! Slice your pie and enjoy every delicious bite of this remarkable chocolate and peanut butter creation.

This Creamy Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pie with a Bacon Crust is not just a dessert; it’s an adventure in flavors that you simply must try. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just indulging in something special, I guarantee it will be a hit!
