The peanut butter pie likely formed as a creative twist on classic custard and cream pies, combining the creamy texture of cheesecake with the sweet crunch of chocolate chips. Over time, it became a favorite dessert at gatherings because it’s easy to make, no baking is required, and it tastes like pure comfort.
