📋 Ingredients:
- For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips, melted
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional)
🥣 Directions:
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
2️⃣ For the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
3️⃣ For the peanut butter filling: In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4️⃣ In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
5️⃣ Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
6️⃣ Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until it’s fully set.
7️⃣ For the topping: Once the pie has set, spread the whipped cream over the top of the peanut butter filling.
8️⃣ Drizzle the melted chocolate over the whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped peanuts (if using).
9️⃣ Slice, serve, and enjoy the creamy, indulgent peanut butter pie!
