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 graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish, using the bottom of a measuring cup to firmly pack the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: Beat softened cream cheese and peanut butter in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the peanut butter mixture until smooth.
- Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled crust and spread evenly with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.
- Make the Chocolate Whipped Cream: In a clean mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Add the Whipped Cream: Spread or pipe the chocolate whipped cream over the chilled peanut butter pie evenly.
- Serve: Slice the pie and serve chilled to enjoy the creamy, rich fusion of peanut butter and chocolate flavors.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- You can substitute the graham cracker crust with a chocolate cookie crust for a different flavor profile.
- Allow the pie to chill thoroughly as this helps it set properly.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and lower-fat peanut butter.
