Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch) or homemade graham cracker crust (made from 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs mixed with 6 tbsp melted butter)

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk or cream
  • 1 cup whipped cream (lightly whipped)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings (optional)

  • Extra whipped cream
  • Chopped peanuts, crushed pretzels, or chocolate shavings
  • Drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Place the pre-made graham cracker crust in a pie pan. If making from scratch, crush graham crackers finely and mix them with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Chill the crust in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
  2. Whip the Peanut Butter Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and a splash of milk or cream. Stir the mixture until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream to lighten the filling and maintain a fluffy texture. Finally, add vanilla extract and fold it in to enhance the flavor.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Pour the peanut butter filling evenly into the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling has firmly set.
  4. Add the Final Touches: Before serving, top the pie generously with extra whipped cream. Add any desired garnishes such as chopped peanuts, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel sauce to enhance both flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth and velvety filling without graininess.
  • Proper chilling is essential for the pie to set and slice cleanly.
  • Fold whipped cream gently into the filling to keep it light and airy.
  • Pre-made crust saves time without sacrificing flavor, but homemade crust adds a buttery crunch.
  • Serve the pie chilled for the best taste and texture.
