Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Optional topping: Whipped topping, chocolate chips, or mini peanut butter cups
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the peanut butter and beat until fully combined and creamy.
- Slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk while mixing on low speed until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the creamy peanut butter filling into the chilled graham cracker crust. Spread evenly.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Before serving, top the pie with your choice of whipped topping, a drizzle of chocolate, or chopped peanut butter cups. Slice and enjoy this indulgent peanut butter dessert.
Notes
- For an Oreo crust peanut butter pie, substitute 2 cups of finely crushed Oreo cookies (filling included) for the graham cracker crumbs.
- You can make this pie a day ahead of time; it tastes even better after chilling overnight.
- If you want a slightly saltier contrast, use salted butter in the crust mixture.
