Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter ¾ stick, unsalted, melted
Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping (optional):
- Whipped Cream
- peanut chopped
- chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. You can use the back of a spoon or your hands to create an even crust.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating on low speed until combined. Then, increase the speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy.
- Add heavy cream and vanilla: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Fill the crust: Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Spread evenly.
- Chill: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream, chopped peanuts, and chocolate shavings, if desired.
Notes
- Variations:
- Graham Crackers: You can use regular graham crackers or honey graham crackers for the crust.
- Peanut Butter: Use creamy peanut butter for the filling. Avoid using natural or "no-stir" peanut butter, as these can sometimes make the filling grainy.
- Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before using it.
- Heavy Cream: Use cold heavy cream for whipping.
- Chill Time: The chill time is important for allowing the filling to set properly.
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie: Add chocolate chips or cocoa powder to the filling. You can also drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the pie.
- Oreo Crust Peanut Butter Pie: Use Oreo cookies instead of graham crackers for the crust. Remove the cream filling from the Oreos before crushing them.
- Reese's Peanut Butter Pie: Use Reese's peanut butter cups in the filling and as a topping. Chop the peanut butter cups and fold them into the filling.
- Peanut Butter Banana Pie: Add sliced bananas to the filling or layer them on the bottom of the crust before adding the peanut butter filling.
- Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Pie: Drizzle salted caramel sauce over the top of the pie.
