Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (for folding in filling)

Chocolate Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (remaining half)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar (for the topping whipped cream)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional for garnish or melting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Press the pre-made graham cracker crust firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling, ensuring it sets properly.
  2. Make the peanut butter filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly to create a sweet, velvety filling.
  3. Whip the heavy cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold half of this whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, incorporating it carefully to maintain the light texture.
  4. Assemble the pie: Pour the peanut butter filling into the chilled graham cracker crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula. Return the pie to the refrigerator to chill while preparing the topping, allowing the filling to set.
  5. Prepare the chocolate whipped cream topping: In a clean bowl, beat the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream with cocoa powder and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread this chocolate whipped cream evenly over the chilled peanut butter filling layer.
  6. Chill and serve: Place the fully assembled pie back into the refrigerator and chill for at least two hours before serving. Optionally, garnish the pie with semi-sweet chocolate chips melted or sprinkled on top for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For a firmer pie, chill overnight before serving.
  • You can substitute the pre-made graham cracker crust with a homemade crust if preferred.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
  • Use chilled bowls and beaters for whipping cream to achieve the best volume.
  • Optionally, melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over the chocolate whipped cream for a decorative topping.
  • This pie is best served chilled and enjoyed within 2-3 days.
