Ingredients
  

  • For the crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • For the filling:
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk or as needed for consistency
  • For the topping:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for melting
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter optional, for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Make the crust:
  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is evenly coated.
  • Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon to pack it down firmly.
  • Chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to set.
  • Prepare the filling:
  • In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and continue to mix until well combined.
  • Gradually add the milk to adjust the consistency of the filling, making it smooth and spreadable.
  • Assemble the pie:
  • Pour the peanut butter filling into the chilled graham cracker crust. Spread it out evenly using a spatula.
  • Make the whipped topping:
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
  • Carefully spread the whipped cream over the peanut butter filling.
  • Add the chocolate and peanut butter drizzle:
  • Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the whipped cream layer.
  • Optionally, melt peanut butter in the microwave and drizzle over the pie for extra flavor.
  • Chill the pie:
  • Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or until it has fully set and is cold.
  • Serve:
  • Slice the pie into wedges and serve chilled. You can garnish with additional peanut butter drizzle or chopped peanuts if desired.

Notes

  • If you want a crunchier crust, you can add finely chopped peanuts into the graham cracker mixture.
  • This pie can be made a day ahead for even better flavor and texture.
  • For a lighter version, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese and whipped topping, though it may slightly alter the texture.
