Peanut Butter & Chocolate Pie -Pareve/Vegan, no-bake, easy

 This is a super-easy pie to make. All you need is a bowl, a whisk, a way to melt chocolate, and a fridge.

Ingredients - for each pie
1 pre-made graham cracker crust

Filling:
1 cup coconut cream (if you want dairy, you can use regular cream)
1 package vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup peanut butter (CREAMY, not crunchy, Skippy is fine, natural is ok, too, but if it's salt-free, you might need to add some salt to balance the flavor)

topping: 
1 chocolate bar (bittersweet) + 3 tbs of the filling

Method: 
In a large mixing bowl, whip (mixer if you have, or whisk if you don't) the coconut cream until it's fluffy - if you can make it into whipped cream texture, that's best, otherwise, just do what you can. 

Add the vanilla pudding mix and keep whipping.

Add the peanut butter (if you're whipping by hand, you might want to warm the peanut butter in the microwave or place the peanut butter in a cup inside of a bowl of hot water as it will make it mix better) and mix until everything is well-blended.

Reserve 3 tbs of the filling for the topping. 

Pour the mixture into the pie crust and refrigerate for at least one hour. 

Once pie is chilled, take 1 chocolate bar, and break it up into a bowl, add the reserved filling. Warm in microwave (or put bowl into bigger bowl of hot water to melt), and mix well. you can add milk, coconut milk, or even a little of water to make it thin enough to pour. 

Pour over pie. 

Refrigerate until chocolate sets (1 hour)
