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 the 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 firmly pack it. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust and spread it out evenly with a spatula to smooth the top. Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until set.
- Make the Chocolate Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip the mixture using an electric or hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Add the Whipped Cream: Spread or pipe the chocolate whipped cream over the chilled peanut butter pie evenly.
- Serve: Slice the pie and serve chilled, enjoying the rich and creamy flavors of this delightful no-bake dessert.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to achieve a smooth filling.
- Use freshly whipped cream for the best texture in both the filling and topping.
- The pie needs at least 3 hours of chilling time for proper setting; overnight chilling is best for optimal firmness.
- For a crunchy texture, consider garnishing with chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings.
- This pie should be stored refrigerated and consumed within 3 days for freshness.
