Chocolate Fluffernutter Pie

What is chocolate fluffernutter pie? What is fluffernutter pie? What is a fluffernutter?? These are all excellent questions. Let’s start with the fluffernutter.

A fluffernutter is a New England classic of a peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich. Personally, I’ve never had one but I was never one for adding anything to my peanut butter sandwiches. But, they are popular in NE and people even eat them grilled (honestly, that sounds even better to me).

What is fluffernutter pie? Well, I didn’t invent it but the idea did come to me when I was thinking about peanut butter pie and what would be a creative take on it. People love peanut butter pie, and while there’s nothing wrong with it as is, I’m always trying to find unique takes on classic bakes. My brain has always just said “what if…”. So I thought, what if peanut butter pie was combined with a fluffernutter sandwich.

And what is everyone’s favorite combo when it comes to peanut butter? Peanut butter and chocolate of course. So we arrived at chocolate fluffernutter pie. And it’s pretty good if I do say so myself. What’s even better? It’s almost a no-bake pie. The crust is baked for about 10 minutes but other than that, it whips up quickly and then just has to chill!

The pie is sort of like a no bake cheesecake, as it does have cream cheese in it, but it doesn’t taste like or have the consistency of cheesecake. The topping is a marshmallow whipped cream. Marshmallow can be incredibly sweet, so the heavy cream does not have any extra sugar in it, to let the marshmallow flavor shine and tone down the sugary a bit.

I topped mine with some micro-planed dark chocolate, but you really could do anything. I thought about doing a chocolate ganache drizzle with some melted peanut butter, but be aware if you do this, it could overpower the marshmallow and you lose that flavor.

If you are a peanut butter lover, here are some more bakes you might love:

• Peanut Butter Stuffed Brownies
• Chewy Peanut Butter Oreo Cookies
• Sweet & Salty Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Baking Tips

When I was dreaming up this recipe I knew I wanted to use chocolate graham crackers. When it came time to recipe test I could NOT find them. It turns out Nabisco discontinued making chocolate graham crackers a few years ago. Some stores have a store brand version, if you have a Kroger they appear to, or the organic brand Mary’s but I just used chocolate teddy grahams.

When I was recipe testing this, I found it easiest to make the whipped creams first and then the pie filling last. This way you can make the plain whipped cream, scoop it out of the bowl to chill. Then you can make the marshmallow whipped cream and do the same, then the filling. You don’t need to clean the bowl as long as you are getting the majority out of it as the ingredients are going to end up together.

Chocolate Fluffernutter Pie Key Ingredients

• Peanut Butter – The best peanut butter to use is going to be a creamy traditional peanut butter like Jif or Skippy. They have a formula that doesn’t separate which is what you want.
• Marshmallow Fluff – Either marshmallow fluff or marshmallow creme is fine, but you want the stuff in the jar not just marshmallows.
• Heavy Whipping Cream – Both the marshmallow whipped cream and the pie use heavy cream, you will need 2 cups.
