Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
For the Chocolate Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are fully coated and the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish using the bottom of a measuring cup to pack the crust firmly. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat again until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the peanut butter mixture until completely smooth and incorporated.
- Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled crust and spread evenly with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow it to set properly.
- Make the Chocolate Whipped Cream: In a clean bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip using an electric or hand mixer until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy chocolate whipped cream.
- Add the Chocolate Whipped Cream: Spread or pipe the chocolate whipped cream evenly over the chilled peanut butter pie.
- Serve: Slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy the perfect combination of creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate flavors in this indulgent no-bake dessert.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- You can omit the chocolate whipped cream if you prefer a pure peanut butter flavor.
- Use a spatula to gently fold whipped cream into the filling to keep it light and airy.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or overnight for best texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
