A creamy, nutty peanut butter pie with a buttery graham cracker crust and fluffy whipped topping, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • ¼ cup crushed peanuts or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set.
  2. Make the filling: In another mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  4. Assemble the pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled crust, spreading it into an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  5. Add the topping: Before serving, spread whipped cream over the top of the pie. Garnish with crushed peanuts or chocolate shavings, if desired.

Notes

[‘Make sure cream cheese is softened for a silky filling.’, ‘Chill the crust to prevent crumbling.’, ‘Use fresh whipped cream for richer taste.’, ‘Don’t skip the chilling time for perfect texture.’, ‘Experiment with toppings like chocolate syrup or sea salt.’]
