Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made crust (9-inch) Graham cracker or chocolate cookie crust
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Heavy cream (for ganache topping)
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and beat until fully combined and fluffy.
Mix in the peanut butter and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and evenly incorporated.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form (this may take 3-5 minutes with a hand or stand mixer).
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until no streaks remain. This will create the pie filling.
Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the pre-made crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Allow the chocolate ganache to cool slightly, then pour it over the peanut butter layer of the pie. Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to spread it evenly.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Overnight chilling is ideal for best results.
Before serving, optionally garnish with crushed peanuts or chocolate shavings for added texture and presentation.
