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 the mixture resembles wet sand and crumbs are fully coated. Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish using the bottom of a measuring cup to ensure it is firmly packed. Chill the crust in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled crust and spread evenly with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until set.
- Make the Chocolate Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Add the Whipped Cream Topping: Spread or pipe the chocolate whipped cream evenly over the chilled peanut butter pie.
- Serve: Slice the pie and serve chilled to enjoy the creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate flavors.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smoother filling texture.
- Press the crust firmly to prevent it from crumbling when slicing.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, for best set and flavor development.
- The chocolate whipped cream can be piped decoratively or spread for a rustic look.
- If desired, garnish with chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings for extra texture and decoration.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
