In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the peanut butter and powdered sugar to the cream cheese. Beat the mixture on medium speed until fully combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Mix until fully incorporated.
Pour the filling into the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings on top for garnish.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the filling to set before serving.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
