Ingredients

Scale

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Chocolate

  • 1 cup chocolate chips or 6 oz melted chocolate

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs and combine with melted butter until evenly mixed. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a pie dish to form an even crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: Using a mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until the mixture is well blended.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, combining carefully to retain airiness and volume in the filling.
  4. Add the Chocolate: Fold chocolate chips into the filling or swirl melted chocolate in for a marbled effect, infusing the pie with deep chocolate flavor and richness.
  5. Assemble and Chill: Pour the filling evenly into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the pie to firm up and the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for the smoothest filling.
  • Do not overwhip the cream; stop at soft peaks to maintain a light texture.
  • Chill thoroughly for best texture and flavor development.
  • Choose high-quality chocolate for a richer taste.
  • Press crust firmly and evenly to support the creamy filling.
