Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream (for fudge topping)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the crust: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup to smooth out the crust.
Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes while preparing the filling.
Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together using a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form using a hand or stand mixer. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the cream.
Spread the filling evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Prepare the fudge topping: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup heavy cream.
Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the fudge topping to cool slightly, then pour it gently over the peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until fully set before serving.
Slice and enjoy this decadent Peanut Butter Pie with Fudge Topping!
