Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (for folding)
Chocolate Whipped Cream Topping
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Press the pre-made graham cracker crust into a 9-inch pie dish evenly and place it in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
- Make the peanut butter filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
- Whip the heavy cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip half of the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture to lighten it.
- Assemble the pie filling: Pour the peanut butter filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Return the pie to the refrigerator to chill further while you prepare the topping.
- Prepare the chocolate whipped cream topping: In a clean bowl, beat the remaining heavy whipping cream with cocoa powder and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips carefully.
- Top the pie: Spread the chocolate whipped cream mixture evenly over the peanut butter filling.
- Chill before serving: Place the completed pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least two hours to allow it to set properly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- For a firmer filling, chill the pie longer than two hours if possible.
- You can substitute the graham cracker crust with an Oreo crust for a chocolate base.
- Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet, more authentic peanut flavor.
- This pie is best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days.
