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 Smooth peanut butter
- 1.25 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings or crushed peanuts for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup for a smooth finish.
Place the pie crust in the freezer to set while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until creamy and smooth using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Gradually mix in powdered sugar, followed by the vanilla extract, until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in two batches using a spatula. Mix until fully combined and fluffy.
If desired, fold in mini chocolate chips for an extra layer of texture and flavor.
Remove the crust from the freezer and spoon the peanut butter filling into the crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula for a smooth surface.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the filling is firm. Overnight chilling is recommended for best results.
Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings, crushed peanuts, or both for a decorative touch. Slice and enjoy!
