This mocha peanut butter pie walks into your life like it owns the place—rich, smooth, and way too easy to love. It’s chocolate, coffee, and creamy peanut butter getting along better than your last three relationships. No baking, no nonsense, and no eggs pretending to matter. The crust? Dangerously decadent. The filling? Like a coffee shop date with zero awkward small talk. Vegan? Obviously. Guilt-free? Let’s pretend. Slice it up when you’re done pretending salad is enough. It’s the dessert that says, “I got this,” while you ugly-cry to rom-coms and ignore texts from your gym.
