Refrigerate the pie for 2 to 3 hours, or until chilled and set.

FAQs
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes. This pie is a great make-ahead dessert because it needs time to chill and set. Prepare it the day before and keep it covered in the refrigerator.
Is this pie completely sugar-free?
It is made with sugar-free ingredients, but always check the labels on your peanut butter, whipped topping, chocolate syrup, and peanut butter cups to make sure they fit your needs.
Can I add a crust?
Yes. You can add a sugar-free cookie crust, a nut-based crust, or a graham-style crust if you do not need the pie to stay crustless.
Can I use natural peanut butter?
Yes, but make sure it is well stirred and not too runny. A thicker peanut butter gives the pie a better texture.
How long does the pie need to chill?
The pie should chill for 2 to 3 hours before serving so it can firm up properly.
Can I freeze this peanut butter pie?
Yes. Freeze it tightly covered for up to 1 month. Thaw it in the refrigerator before slicing.
What can I use instead of Splenda?
You can use another granulated sugar-free sweetener, but the sweetness level may vary depending on the brand.
Why is my pie too soft?
The pie may need more chilling time, or the peanut butter may have been too runny. Let it chill longer before slicing.
Can I make this without chocolate syrup?
Yes. You can skip the chocolate syrup or replace it with a sugar-free caramel-style topping.
Can I make this recipe in cups instead of a pie pan?
Yes. Spoon the filling into small dessert cups, add the toppings, and chill until set.
