For the Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Substitute with a pre-made cookie crust if preferred.

  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Natural peanut butter can substitute for a less sweet pie.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Granulated sugar can be used but may change texture.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla for the best taste.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Whipped topping can be used as an alternative.
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt Omit if using salted peanut butter.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until fully incorporated. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form and fold into the peanut butter mixture.
  3. Heat heavy cream for the ganache in a small saucepan until it steams, then whisk in semisweet chocolate chips until smooth. Pour the ganache over the peanut butter filling.
  4. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set, or freeze for 2 hours if you're short on time.
