Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt (optional)
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
  • Chocolate shavings or syrup (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Set aside or refrigerate to firm up.
  2. In another bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt until combined and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until no streaks remain.
  3. Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes or until set.
  4. Whip the additional heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
  5. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and drizzle with chocolate syrup for added flavor. Slice and serve chilled.
