Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
- 1 cup candied peanuts
- 0.75 cup chocolate-coated candies (like M&M's)
- 0.25 cup chocolate sauce or caramel sauce (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Let it cool completely before proceeding.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the cooled crust.
Sprinkle the candied peanuts and chocolate-coated candies on top of the pie, distributing them evenly.
Drizzle with chocolate sauce or caramel sauce if desired for extra sweetness and presentation.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Slice and serve, enjoying the playful combination of textures and flavors!
