Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.75 cup Peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for whipped cream topping)
- 0.25 cup Salted peanuts (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings or chips (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir to combine.
Add the melted butter to the crumb mixture and mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, and beat again until everything is well combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in three additions to create a light and fluffy filling.
Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the cooled crust.
In another bowl, whip the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form to create a whipped cream topping.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream topping over the peanut butter filling.
Optional: Garnish the pie with salted peanuts and chocolate shavings or chips for added texture and flavor.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow it to set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Peanut Butter Cream Pie II!
