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 the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are fully coated and the mixture looks like wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, using the bottom of a measuring cup to firmly compact the crust. Refrigerate the crust to chill while preparing the filling.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Then add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled crust, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow it to set properly.
- Prepare the Chocolate Whipped Cream: In a clean mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip using an electric or hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Finish and Serve: Spread or pipe the chocolate whipped cream evenly over the chilled peanut butter pie. Slice and serve the pie chilled, enjoying the creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate flavors.
Notes
- For best results, use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps in the filling.
- You can substitute crunchy peanut butter for a bit of texture variation.
- Make sure to whip the cream until stiff peaks form; this ensures a light and airy filling and topping.
- The pie should be chilled for at least 3 hours, but can be refrigerated overnight for better set.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
