Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand or stand mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • 9-inch pie pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • For the Crust:
  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • For the Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Topping Optional:
  • ½ cup whipped cream or whipped topping
  • ¼ cup chopped peanuts
  • Drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Crust:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the back of a spoon or a measuring cup to ensure an even layer.
  • Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  • Make the Filling:
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated and fluffy.
  • Assemble the Pie:
  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  • Add the Topping:
  • Before serving, spread a layer of whipped cream over the top of the pie. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce, if desired.

Notes

Crust Variations: Substitute graham crackers with crushed chocolate cookies or vanilla wafers for a twist.
