Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.33 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 0.25 cup chopped peanuts for garnish, optional

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until no streaks remain.
  4. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top if desired.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use natural peanut butter. This pie can be made 1 day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator. Leftovers keep well for up to 5 days.
