Frozen Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pie – Made with So Delicious Dairy Free Frozen Dessert and a few extra ingredients, this cool creamy pie comes together easily and tastes like a frozen snickers bar. You are going to LOVE this!
What screams summer more than ice cream? Nothing! The kids beg for it all the time and I’m more than happy to give in once in awhile.
I usually make homemade ice cream, or nice cream, as its come to be called. My Chocolate Dairy Free Ice Cream is their favorite…and it’s no churn! But I’m also a sucker for the delicious store bought dairy free options that are available these days.
It’s never been easier to be plant based and still enjoy all the flavors and textures that you’re used to. This Frozen Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pie is the kids’ new favorite treat and I can’t say I blame them. You’re gonna love it too!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Heaven
Chocolate + Peanut Butter + Caramel + Ice Cream = serious bliss on your taste buds!
My favorite candy bar growing up was Snickers. I could eat those 2 at a time (eek!). I can’t even begin to remember that last time I ate one of those candy bars, but I still love the perfect combination that is peanuts, chocolate, and caramel!
This cool and creamy chocolate chip pie brings all of those favorite childhood flavors back to life. The peanutty crust stays soft even when frozen and resembles the texture of chewy nougat. The luscious filling has the perfect balance of peanut butter and sweetness with little bits of chocolate running throughout. The CocoWhip, caramel drizzle good enough to eat straight from a spoon, crushed peanuts and chocolate chips bring it all together into decadent pie glory.
The caramel drizzle, by the way, is made with more ice cream!!

- 2 cups raw unsalted peanuts
- 10 Medjool dates
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2-4 tbsp water (as needed)
- 2 pints So Delicious Coconut Milk Non Dairy Frozen Dessert in Cookie Dough flavor
- 3/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 cup So Delicious CocoWhip (softened)
- 1/2 cup So Delicious Coconut Milk Non Dairy Frozen Dessert in Vanilla Bean flavor (the So Delicious cashew milk variety of vanilla will also work)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tbsp water (to thin, if needed)
- chopped raw unsalted peanuts
- dairy free chocolate chips
Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan** with a circle of parchment paper cut to fit. Set aside.
To the bowl of a food processor, add 2 cups peanuts, dates, and cocoa powder and pulse until combined. Add water 1 tbsp at a time, if needed, to help the mixture come together. It should hold together easily when pressed into a ball.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. You can press the mixture up onto the sides of the pan too if you wish so it resembles a pie crust more - I did - or you can just make an even layer on the bottom.
Place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Place the cookie dough ice cream and 3/4 cup peanut butter into the bowl of the food processor (just rinse it out from the crust - no need to thoroughly clean it). Blend until combined and smooth.
Pour the ice cream filling into an even layer on the already prepared crust. Place back in the freezer to set.
While the pie is setting up in the freezer, take the CocoWhip out of the freezer and let it soften until spreadable. Mine took about 20 minutes or so.
Once softened, spread the CocoWhip into an even layer over the ice cream filling. Set the pie back in the freezer for several hours (or overnight) to set.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk the 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream, maple syrup, and 1/4 cup peanut butter until smooth. Add water 1 tbsp at a time to thin if needed.
Set aside to cool slightly.
When ready to serve, drizzle the caramel sauce over the pie and sprinkle with chopped peanuts and chocolate chips.
Cut into slices and enjoy!
*You likely won't use all of the caramel for drizzling over the pie. As luck would have it, you'll also have some vanilla ice cream leftover. Vanilla ice cream + caramel sauce = delicious dairy free treat! You could also use the leftover caramel for dipping apples or graham crackers or just licking off of a spoon!
**You could use a regular pie plate for this recipe too, but I find it easier to cut and remove the slices from a springform pan.
***Nutrition facts calculated without caramel drizzle or crushed peanuts and chocolate chips on top since the amount used will vary.

Sophia | Veggies Don't Bite says
Peanut butter and chocolate is pretty much like water to me. I can only go so long without it. I’d kinda just like to live in this pie.
Jenn S. says
HaHa! Move on in, girl!! There’s room right here next to me. 🙂
Vanessa Croessmann says
This looks incredible, Jenn! I’d don’t think I would be able to share a single slice of it. Pure Perfection! Pinning!
Jenn S. says
Thank you, Vanessa! You are the best! I hope you and your family enjoy it too!
Alisa Fleming says
Jenn, I am seriously floored by this dessert! It looks almost too perfect AND so easy. Plus, peanut butter and chocolate. I mean, who doesn’t love that combo?
Jenn S. says
Thank you, Alisa!! If you can believe it, my husband is neither a fan of peanut butter, nor chocolate. But, that’s just fine with the kids and me – more for us!! 🙂
Alisa Fleming says
Who is this strange man?! 🙂
Jenn S. says
I know, right?! He also doesn’t like potatoes. I do not comprehend these things.
Alisa Fleming says
He’s clearly not human. I would keep an eye on your children for early warning signs of this strange psychological condition.
Jenn S. says
Bahahahaha!! So far, so good in these areas….but they are a bit strange sometimes. 🙂
Linda from Veganosity says
That looks incredible! I love how easy it is to make too. Thanks Jenn!
Jenn S. says
Thank you, Linda! So super easy! And even if you do nothing else, you for sure NEED to mix the peanut butter with the ice cream and just eat that! 🙂
Ginny McMeans says
This knocks my socks off. I can’t wait to make that. I just had a pint of their cookie dough last week and vanilla bean the week before. It’s good stuff! 🙂
Jenn S. says
It’s so good, isn’t it?! Tastes like the real thing – no, better! 🙂 I hope you enjoy this pie, Ginny. Thank you!

Lisa | Garlic & Zest says
Hands down — YOU’RE GONNA WIN! This pie looks amazing — and if it tastes half as good as it looks, the competition doesn’t stand a chance!
Jenn S. says
Oh, you are too kind! I’ve already seen some pretty stiff competition. Either way, it’s a fun and yummy contest to take a part in! Thanks, Lisa!
Monica | Nourish & Fete says
Oh my goodness, this looks SO good. I am right there with you on the love for Snickers – I could eat way too many, too! Next time I have dairy-free or vegan dinner guests, I am definitely making this – I think they’ll be blown away!
Laurel says
This Frozen Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pie has my vote! All the flavors are AMAZING, but that peanut butter caramel… it is SO genius to use the ice cream as the caramel base. So in love with that idea! I will definitely be making this cool and creamy pie this summer.
Jenn S. says
Thank you so much, Laurel! That caramel – I figured as long as we’re indulging, we mights as well do it all the way!! 🙂 I hope you love it!
Healthy & Psyched says
Oh my gosh. This looks incredible! I am trying to cut down on eating desserts and sugary stuff but this is giving me cravings!
Jenn S. says
It’s a real struggle isn’t it?! I went plant based for my health, but darn it if there isn’t a million ways to indulge this way too! 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Peanut butter, chocolate…mmm…that makes for one fantastic summer treat 🙂
Jenn S. says
You said it!! A match made in heaven! Thanks, Rebecca!
Dianne says
Oh my goodness! I’m totally drooling over this. To be honest, I think I’d prefer a slice of this than of my own ice cream cake that I did for Frozen Fridays!
Jenn S. says
Why not both?! They’re so different – totally just depends on the mood right? I did a fruity ice cream cake last year for the So Delicious challenge. 🙂
Jasmine says
I am making this ASAP….like tonight haha not only does it sound delicious but it is BEAUTIFUL!
Jenn S. says
Thank you, Jasmine! I hope you love it as much as we do!
