Ingredients
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup creamy peanut butter
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional toppings: chopped peanuts, chocolate shavings, or peanut butter drizzle
Directions
- Start by making the crust. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and feel like wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue to mix until everything is well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This means the cream should hold its shape when you lift the whisk or beaters. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Do this slowly to keep the filling light and fluffy.
- Pour the filling into the chilled crust and spread it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top and return the pie to the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least four hours, or until firm enough to slice cleanly.
- Before serving, add your favorite toppings like chopped peanuts, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of peanut butter for extra texture and flavor.
