Ingredients

  • For the crust:
    • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • For the filling:
    • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • For the topping:
    • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (or homemade whipped cream)
    • 2 tablespoons peanut butter, melted (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
    • Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides evenly. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Filling
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
    • Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. Whip the Cream
    • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Assemble the Pie
    • Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust, smoothing it out evenly.
    • Spread the whipped topping over the filling, ensuring a smooth, even layer.
  5. Add the Final Touches
    • If desired, melt 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and drizzle over the top for extra flavor and decoration.
  6. Chill and Serve
    • Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
    • Slice and enjoy!
