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 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the crust by mixing the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl until combined and the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
Add the peanut butter to the cream cheese mixture and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Transfer the peanut butter filling into the chilled pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or spoon.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
Before serving, optionally top the pie with whipped cream, chopped peanuts, or chocolate shavings for garnish.
Slice, serve, and enjoy this luscious peanut butter pie!
