Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings or syrup (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

Make the Crust:

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and the crumbs are coated in butter.
  2. Press into the Pan: Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon to pack it tightly.
  3. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow it to cool completely before adding the filling.

Make the Peanut Butter Filling:

  1. Mix Peanut Butter Filling: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and cream cheese. Use an electric mixer to blend everything together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  3. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated. The mixture should be light and fluffy.

Assemble the Pie:

  1. Fill the Crust: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth it out into an even layer.
  2. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours, or until the filling is set and firm.

Make the Whipped Topping:

  1. Whip the Topping: In a small bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  2. Top the Pie: Once the pie has set, spread the whipped cream on top of the peanut butter filling. Smooth it out evenly.
  3. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and drizzle with chocolate syrup or add some chocolate shavings for extra flavor and decoration (optional).
