Ingredients
for the crust
- 16 whole graham crackers to make 2 cups crumbs
- 5 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
for the peanut butter filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt optional
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipping cream
for the topping
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 2 Tbsp confectioner's sugar optional
- 1/3 cup peanuts roasted, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- In a food processor, blend the graham crackers until finely ground.
- Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix with the melted butter until uniform and clumpy.
- Add the crumb mixture to an 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Press them into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. I like to use a cup measure with a flat bottom to do this.
- Bake the pie crust for 10 minutes, then remove and allow to cool completely.
- To make the peanut butter filling, wipe out your food processor and add the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
- Process until uniform.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Add the peanut butter mixture, starting with a little bit, to the whipped cream and fold it together until there are no streaks.
- Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled pie crust, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or up to overnight.
- When ready to serve, whip 1/2 cup cream with the sugar to stiff peaks. Top with the whipped cream and crushed peanuts.
Notes
- If you'd like to reduce the calories in this dessert, try using low fat cream cheese, and omitting the whipped cream topping.
