Method

Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined and press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Pie

    Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Slice the pie and serve chilled. Optionally, top with additional whipped cream or chopped peanuts for garnish.
