Ingredients

For the crust

  • ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs (2 large sheets of graham crackers. You may also use digestive biscuits, shortbread cookies, chocolate or vanilla wafers)
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter melted

For the filling

  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 2 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Optional toppings: shaved chocolate, chopped peanuts, whipped cream

Instructions

Prepare the crust

  • Heat oven to 350° F (177° C).
  • Pour graham cracker crumbs into a small bowl and stir in melted butter.
  • Butter or spray the bottom and sides of an 10-ounce ramekin or baking dish of similar size with oil spray and pour the crumbs into the dish. Using your fingers, the bottom of a drinking glass or the back of a spoon, press the crumbs gently so they form a crust on the bottom.
  • Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. 
  • Remove from the oven and set aside.

Prepare the filling

  • Pour the cream and sugar into a small bowl and whip at high speed using a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whip together the peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture with a spatula until completely blended. Spoon into the cooled ramekin and smooth out the top. Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until ready to eat.
  • Take the pie out of the refrigerator and enjoy!

Notes

  • Before you start, make sure to read the entire recipe, including the Ingredient Notes section, and examine the process photos. This detailed guide will help you understand how the recipe unfolds, ensuring your peanut butter pie turns out perfect every time. All the information you need is found within the body of this recipe post, so don’t miss a thing!
  • Crust Choices: Don't limit yourself to graham crackers for the crust. Feel free to switch things up with your favorite cookies like digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers.
  • To Bake or Not to Bake: If you prefer a no-bake pie, simply skip baking the crust. While baking offers a crispier texture, it's not a must-do step.
  • Optional Toppings: The pie is scrumptious on its own, but if you want to add some flair, consider garnishing with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or crushed peanuts.
  • Chocolate Lovers Alert: For a twist, convert this into a chocolate peanut butter pie by drizzling melted chocolate over the filling before chilling.
