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 Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, cold
- 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to create an even crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter together until smooth and well-combined.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until the filling is creamy and thoroughly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in three additions, ensuring the filling is light and airy.
Remove the crust from the fridge and pour the filling into the prepared crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula, smoothing the top.
If desired, sprinkle the top of the pie with chopped peanuts and chocolate shavings for garnish.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and well set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Peanut Butter Luster Pie!
