Instructions

Make the Crust

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter.
  • Lightly grease a 10-ounce ramekin or similar-sized dish. Add the crumb mixture and press it evenly into the bottom using your fingers, the back of a spoon, or a flat-bottomed glass.
  • Bake for 8–10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Make the Filling

  • In a small bowl, whip cream and sugar with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, beat together peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined.
  • Spoon the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Crust Options: Graham crackers are great, but you can also use digestive biscuits, vanilla wafers, or other cookies you like.
  • Baking the Crust: Baking adds a crisp texture, but you can skip this step for a no-bake version.
  • Topping Ideas: Add whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or crushed peanuts for extra flair - optional but delicious.
  • Chocolate Version: Drizzle melted chocolate over the filling before chilling to turn this into a chocolate peanut butter pie.
 
If doubling the recipe, use either two 10-ounce ramekins or one 5x5 inch dish or a 4x6 inch dish.
