Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar. Blend until smooth and well combined (about 2-3 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes). Be careful not to over-whip.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Place the pre-made graham cracker pie crust on a serving plate or pie dish.
- Spoon the peanut butter filling into the pie crust and spread it evenly to the edges.
- Smooth the top with a spatula, creating a decorative swirl if desired.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, sealing well to prevent odors from the fridge.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- If using chocolate chips, melt them in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the top of the pie.
- Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top for added crunch.
- Optionally, add dollops of whipped cream around the edges for decoration.
- Slice the pie into wedges using a sharp knife (dipping the knife in warm water helps for clean cuts).
- Serve each slice on a plate, optionally adding a dollop of whipped cream on the side or on top.
- Enjoy with family and friends!
Notes
- For a homemade graham cracker crust, combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter.
