Ingredients

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (for drizzling)

Chopped peanuts (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until all crumbs are coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth with an electric mixer. Add the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Assemble the Pie: Pour and spread the peanut butter filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Chill the Pie: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the filling to set properly.

Serve: Once chilled, remove the pie from the fridge. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top and garnish with chopped peanuts if desired. Slice and serve chilled for a delightful treat!
