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
Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a pie dish to form an even crust layer. Chill for 10 minutes if desired to set.
- Make the filling: Using a mixer, blend softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the creamy peanut butter and confectioners’ sugar, mixing until the filling is fully combined and smooth with no lumps.
- Assemble the pie: Spread the peanut butter cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula for an even layer.
- Whip up chocolate cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the cocoa powder, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form and the chocolate cream holds firm peaks.
- Top your pie: Spread or pipe the chocolate whipped cream generously over the peanut butter filling, creating an attractive, fluffy layer on top of the pie.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least four hours or overnight to allow it to fully set and the flavors to meld together before serving.
Notes
- For a crunchy crust, you can toast the graham cracker crumbs lightly before mixing with butter.
- Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet but more nutty flavor.
- Ensure cream cheese and peanut butter are softened for a smooth filling without lumps.
- Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping cream to help it whip faster and better.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
