Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs Feel free to use a pre-made cookie crust for convenience.
  • 0.5 cups Brown Sugar Can be swapped with white sugar.
  • 0.5 cups Unsalted Butter Melted.
For the Filling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Ensure it's softened.
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Use natural for a less sweet taste.
  • 0.75 cups Powdered Sugar Granulated sugar is an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Opt for pure for the best results.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Whipped topping can be a quick substitute.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Sea Salt Omit if using salted peanut butter.
For the Chocolate Topping
  • 0.5 cups Heavy Cream Can substitute milk.

Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • electric mixer
  • Pie plate
  • Small saucepan

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate the crust for 1 hour to set.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the peanut butter mixture.
  3. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming. Remove from heat and whisk in semisweet chocolate chips until smooth. Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the peanut butter filling.
  4. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let the filling set and flavors meld together.
