Featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, this pie is easy to prepare without baking and perfect for any occasion, offering a balanced sweetness that appeals to both peanut butter and chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Chocolate Whipped Cream:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, using the bottom of a measuring cup to firmly compact the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue beating until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the peanut butter mixture to create a light, fluffy filling.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled crust and spread evenly with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow it to set.
  4. Make the Chocolate Whipped Cream: In a clean mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, creating a light chocolate whipped cream.
  5. Add the Whipped Cream: Spread or pipe the chocolate whipped cream evenly over the chilled peanut butter pie.
  6. Serve: Slice the pie and serve chilled, enjoying the perfect balance of creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate flavors.

Notes

  • For a chocolate-free version, omit the chocolate whipped cream and top with regular whipped cream or crushed peanuts.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to ensure a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Press the crust firmly to help it hold together and provide a sturdy base for the filling.
  • Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results and firmer texture.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture; crunchy peanut butter will alter the consistency.
  • To speed up chilling, place the pie in the freezer for 1 hour but avoid freezing completely.
