Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks (can substitute with whipped topping)
- 1 cup chocolate chips or 4 oz melted chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter in a bowl until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a pie dish to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing gently to keep the texture light and well combined.
- Whip the cream: Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to keep the filling airy and fluffy, ensuring a melt-in-your-mouth consistency.
- Incorporate the chocolate: Add chocolate chips directly into the filling for texture or gently fold in melted chocolate for a silkier, more integrated flavor. Mix evenly to distribute the chocolate throughout the filling.
- Assemble and chill: Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or overnight to let it fully set and develop the layered flavors.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese and peanut butter for easier mixing and a lump-free filling.
- Choose a high-quality creamy peanut butter for the best flavor.
- Fold whipped cream gently to preserve the fluffy texture.
- Allow sufficient chilling time so the pie sets firm but remains creamy when sliced.
- Adjust powdered sugar to customize the sweetness level to your taste before assembling.
