Ingredients

Scale

Crust

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

Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you prefer to make the crust from scratch, mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter, press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, and bake for 10 minutes until golden. Allow the crust to cool completely before adding the filling.
  2. Mix peanut butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, blend together the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating the base for the pie’s creamy filling.
  3. Whip heavy cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. This means the cream should be fluffy but not overbeaten into stiff peaks.
  4. Combine half the whipped cream: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten the filling, mixing carefully to maintain an airy texture.
  5. Fold in remaining whipped cream: Carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream until the filling is light, airy, and fully combined, ensuring no deflation of the cream.
  6. Assemble and chill: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pie and chill it in the refrigerator for at least four hours or preferably overnight to set firmly before serving.

Notes

  • For a crunchy topping, garnish with chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings.
  • Ensure the heavy cream is very cold for best whipping results.
  • If you prefer a firmer crust, bake the crust even if pre-made.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to substitute natural peanut butter, but the texture may slightly change.
