Unbelievable Peanut Butter Pie

Ingredients

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

¼ cup sugar

⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 ¼ cups creamy peanut butter

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

¼ cup chocolate chips (for topping)

1 tablespoon peanut butter (for topping)

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, making sure it's even. Place the crust in the fridge to set while you prepare the filling.

Make the filling: In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and well-combined.

In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until it's fully combined and creamy.

Spoon the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust and smooth out the top. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until it's firm.

Prepare the topping: Before serving, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter together in a microwave-safe bowl for about 20-30 seconds, stirring every 10 seconds. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the pie.

Serve chilled and enjoy!

Storage/Reheating

FAQs

Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?

Absolutely! If you like a little texture, crunchy peanut butter works great in this recipe. Just make sure to stir it well so the texture is evenly distributed.

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Yes, this pie is perfect for making ahead. In fact, it needs at least 4 hours in the fridge to firm up properly, so making it a day or two in advance works wonderfully.

What can I use if I don’t have graham crackers?

If you don’t have graham crackers, you can substitute with crushed digestive biscuits, vanilla wafers, or even Oreos for a chocolatey twist.

How do I know when the whipped cream is ready?

When whipping the cream, look for stiff peaks – the cream should hold its shape when you lift the beaters out of the bowl. If the cream starts to look grainy or turns into butter, it’s overwhipped.

Can I freeze the peanut butter pie?

Yes, you can freeze the pie. Just be sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap and foil. Let it thaw in the fridge for a few hours before serving.

Conclusion

This Unbelievable Peanut Butter Pie is the ultimate no-bake dessert that combines my love for peanut butter and chocolate in the most delicious way. It’s creamy, indulgent, and super easy to make, making it a perfect choice for any occasion. Whether I’m feeding a crowd or treating myself to something sweet, this pie always hits the spot.
