EASY PEANUT BUTTER PIE

Transform your kitchen into a dessert lover's paradise with this Easy Peanut Butter Pie that promises to become a family favorite.

  • Total Time: 39 minute
  • Yield: 8-10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter

For the Filling:

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet)

Instructions

  • Create the Crust Base: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix with a fork until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.
  • Form the Crust: Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie plate. Press firmly and evenly across the bottom and 1-2 inches up the sides. Place in the freezer while preparing the filling.
  • Prepare the Cream: In a clean medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until medium peaks form. Set aside.
  • Mix the Filling Base: Using a hand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy.
  • Add Flavoring: Incorporate the peanut butter and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
  • Combine Components: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula, maintaining the light and airy texture.
  • Add Chocolate: Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  • Assemble and Chill: Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Return to the freezer for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
