1 cup creamy peanut butter – The centerpiece of this dessert! Choose creamy peanut butter to ensure the smoothest texture possible. If you prefer a little crunch you can swap it for crunchy peanut butter, which adds a fun texture to the pie.
8 oz cream cheese softened – This brings the creamy richness that blends perfectly with the peanut butter. Softening the cream cheese beforehand ensures a smooth filling without any lumps.
1 cup powdered sugar – Sweetness without being overly sugary. Powdered sugar blends effortlessly resulting in a silky, smooth filling.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Just a touch of vanilla to enhance the flavors and round out the richness of the peanut butter and cream cheese.

1 cup heavy whipping cream – For a fluffy light topping that contrasts beautifully with the rich filling. Whipping the cream to stiff peaks gives that airy texture we all love.
2 tablespoons powdered sugar – Adds a touch of sweetness to the whipped cream. It helps stabilize the cream and gives it a perfect texture.

1 pre-made graham cracker crust – Easy and convenient a pre-made graham cracker crust adds the perfect crunch without any hassle. If you're feeling adventurous, you can make your own by combining graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar.
Pro tip: If you make your own crust just press the mixture into a pie dish and bake for a few minutes to set it.

Chocolate drizzle or shaved chocolate – A drizzle of melted chocolate on top not only adds an extra layer of decadence but also makes the pie look elegant and irresistible.
Chopped peanuts or crushed candy – For a little added crunch or a fun twist chopped peanuts or even crushed candy (like mini Reese’s) are a great topping option.

In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter, mixing until the blend is smooth and uniform. It should have a rich, silky consistency that makes it easy to spread.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the mix, and continue blending until everything is fully combined. The sugar will give it the perfect sweetness, while the vanilla enhances the peanut butter's flavor.

In a separate bowl, add the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip it until stiff peaks form—this means the cream should hold its shape when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
Pro Tip: To achieve the fluffiest whipped cream, make sure the cream is well chilled. If possible, also cool the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping for the best results.

Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula to maintain its light and airy texture. Be gentle to keep that light, airy texture of the whipped cream intact while fully incorporating the two.
Pro Tip: Folding is key to keeping the whipped cream fluffy. Make sure to scrape from the bottom of the bowl and gently lift the mixture as you fold.

Once the filling is ready, carefully spoon it into the prepared graham cracker crust. Use a spoon or spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring it fills the edges and has a smooth top.
If you're making your own crust, simply press the peanut butter filling gently into the crust and smooth out the top.

Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours (overnight is even better). This helps the pie set and lets the flavors come together beautifully.
Pro Tip: If you want the pie to slice perfectly, allow it to chill long enough to firm up. The waiting is worth it!

Before serving, you can drizzle the pie with melted chocolate or top it with shaved chocolate to add a bit of extra indulgence. Chopped peanuts or crushed candy can also be added for a crunchy, fun twist.
Pro Tip: Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream for a beautiful presentation and a little extra fluffiness on top!
