Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is evenly coated and resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, using the bottom of a measuring cup for even pressure. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled crust, spreading evenly with a spatula. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.
  4. Step 4: To make the chocolate whipped cream, combine the remaining 1 cup heavy cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whip until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the chocolate whipped cream over the chilled pie before serving.
  5. Step 5: Slice and serve chilled for a deliciously creamy and chocolatey peanut butter dessert.

Tips & Variations

  • Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture in the filling.
  • Substitute graham cracker crumbs with digestive biscuits or chocolate cookies for a different crust flavor.
  • Allow the pie to chill overnight for the best firm set and flavor development.
  • Top with chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings for extra garnish.

Storage

Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it chilled to maintain the creamy texture. When ready to serve again, you can enjoy it straight from the fridge—no reheating needed.

FAQs

Can I use natural peanut butter instead of creamy?

While natural peanut butter can be used, it may alter the texture and make the filling less smooth. For best results, creamy peanut butter is recommended.

Is it possible to freeze this pie?

Yes, you can freeze the pie without the chocolate whipped cream topping for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before adding the chocolate whipped cream and serving.
