Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Chocolate sauce (optional for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a homemade crust, blend graham crackers with melted butter until crumbly and press into a pie dish evenly.
- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer until smooth.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold half into the peanut butter mixture, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until combined.
- Spoon the filling into the cooled crust, smoothing out the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired and slice into generous pieces.
