Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs use fresh crumbs for best flavor
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted for a richer taste, use good-quality butter
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar
For the Filling
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter preferably natural
  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted for smoothness
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to enhance the creaminess
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping
  • 1 cup whipped cream store-bought or homemade
  • Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
  3. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese until smooth. Add the creamy peanut butter and mix well. Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fluffy and smooth.
  5. Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the cooled pie crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
  6. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serving
  1. Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips.

Notes

Use high-quality ingredients for best flavor. Ensure cream cheese is softened completely to avoid lumps. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
