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
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 ounces Dark chocolate, melted (optional garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (optional garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides. Use the flat bottom of a measuring cup to press the crumbs firmly. Refrigerate the crust while you make the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the peanut butter to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
Carefully fold half of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten it. Then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. For best results, chill overnight.
Before serving, drizzle the pie with melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with crushed peanuts if desired.
Slice and serve cold. Enjoy your rich and creamy peanut butter pie!
