Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Gently fold in whipped cream until fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Torte

    Pour the peanut butter filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once set, remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the torte and serve chilled. Optional: top with additional whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
