Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Peanut Butter Cream Filling:
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Whipped Cream Topping:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Peanut Butter Crumbles:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Directions
Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Make the Peanut Butter Cream Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter and powdered sugar together until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Prepare the Peanut Butter Crumbles: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and peanut butter together until crumbly. Set aside.
Assemble the Pie: Pour the peanut butter cream filling into the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the peanut butter crumbles over the filling.
Add the Whipped Cream Topping: In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie, covering the filling and crumbles completely.
Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. For best results, chill overnight.
Serve: Once the pie is set, slice and serve. Garnish with additional peanut butter crumbles if desired.
