Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 6 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until completely combined.
Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and place back in the refrigerator to set.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture and let it cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
Pour the chocolate layer over the set peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly to cover.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to fully set.
Before serving, garnish with mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings if desired.
Slice the pie and enjoy this decadent dessert!
