Ingredients
Scale
- 1 prepared graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup melted chocolate or chocolate chips (optional, for chocolate flavor or topping)
Instructions
- Whip the cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue beating until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Mix the peanut butter: In a separate bowl, stir the creamy peanut butter until smooth. If it’s very thick, you can microwave it for about 10–15 seconds to soften (let it cool slightly).
- Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter in two or three additions. Mix until smooth and fluffy, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Fill the crust: Spoon the peanut butter cream mixture into the graham cracker crust and spread evenly.
- Add chocolate (optional): Drizzle melted chocolate over the top or spread a thin chocolate layer before adding the filling.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until set.
- Serve: Slice and serve chilled. You can top with extra whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or peanut butter drizzle if you like.
Notes
- This pie is best enjoyed chilled, so ensure it sets properly in the fridge.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of powdered sugar to taste.
- The pie can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
