How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Dessert in a Mug
Step 1: Gather the recipe ingredients.
In a small bowl (affiliate link) (or mug), add the yogurt and peanut butter…
and stir until thoroughly combined.
Step 2: Assemble the peanut butter pie.
If mixing in a separate bowl, add the peanut butter yogurt to a mug or glass—or continue with the mug. I decided to layer the yogurt and graham cracker crumbs into a parfait!
Top with whipped topping, remaining chocolate graham cracker crumbs and chopped peanuts (if desired).
Creamy, crunchy, and just the right mix of chocolate and peanut butter, this simple treat is an easy way to satisfy a sweet craving without a lot of fuss.
Recipe Notes
One of the things I love most about this recipe is how flexible it is.
You can layer it parfait-style, stir everything together in a mug, or serve it in a small dessert glass for a prettier presentation.
For an even richer dessert, try adding a teaspoon of mini chocolate chips or a few crushed pretzels for that sweet-and-salty combination.
If you’re meal prepping, mix the yogurt and powdered peanut butter ahead of time and keep it refrigerated. Add the graham cracker crumbs and whipped topping just before serving so everything stays crisp and fresh.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy this dessert:
- As an afternoon snack
- For a quick weeknight dessert
- As a protein-packed breakfast
- Layered into a parfait glass for guests
- Topped with sliced bananas or berries

Yes. Use a dairy-free yogurt and dairy-free whipped topping.

Hello
Thanks for a great recipe.. did you make your own graham crackers? I have never seen Chocolate crackers before.. but of course I live in Canada, where things are different.. but if you can let me know that would be so great.
It looks so yummy.
No, we didn’t make our own. Chocolate graham crackers are available here in the US. If you can’t find them plain would work well too.
I flavor my non fat Greek yogurt with vanilla protein powder 1point for half a scoop and 2 points for a full scoop . I use it in crepes and I bet it would work for this recipe .
how do you know how many points you can have on these new colored plans?

That’s it. 0 points for a 3/4 cup vanilla yogurt.
Thanks for the tip Jim! ~Martha
