Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Chocolate shavings or curls for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Beat the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Spoon the peanut butter mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust and spread it evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add cocoa powder and sugar while continuing to whip until you get stiff peaks.
- Spread the chocolate whipped cream over the peanut butter layer in the crust.
- Cover the pie and chill for at least 240 minutes, or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, add chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
Make sure cream cheese is softened for easy blending. Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth filling. Whipping the cream to stiff peaks is key for the topping.
