Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Chocolate Whipped Cream Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into a pie dish to form an even layer that will serve as the base of the pie.
- Make the filling: Blend the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. Gradually mix in the peanut butter and confectioners’ sugar until the mixture is well combined and has a velvety texture.
- Assemble the pie: Spread the cream cheese and peanut butter mixture evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
- Whip up chocolate cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks begin to form. Gradually add cocoa powder while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form, creating a fluffy chocolate whipped cream.
- Top your pie: Generously spread or pipe the chocolate whipped cream over the cream cheese filling, covering the entire pie evenly.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least four hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set fully before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before blending to avoid lumps.
- For an extra crunchy crust, mix in some finely chopped peanuts with the graham cracker crumbs.
- You can substitute creamy peanut butter with natural peanut butter but stir well to ensure smoothness.
- Chilling the bowl and beaters helps in whipping the cream to stiff peaks faster.
- Leftovers should be refrigerated and consumed within 3 days for best freshness.
