Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
For the Chocolate Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until all crumbs are coated and the mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish using the bottom of a measuring cup to firm it. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: Beat softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy in a large bowl. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the peanut butter mixture until smooth.
- Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, allowing it to set properly.
- Make the Chocolate Whipped Cream: In a clean mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip with an electric or hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Add the Chocolate Whipped Cream: Once the peanut butter pie is set and chilled, spread or pipe the chocolate whipped cream evenly on top.
- Serve: Slice the pie and serve chilled to enjoy its rich, creamy, and indulgent flavors.
Notes
- For a lighter chocolate option, omit the chocolate whipped cream topping.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling when slicing.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or overnight for best texture.
- Use an electric mixer for easier and quicker whipping of creams.
