Easy mini peanut butter pie recipe with a buttery graham cracker crust. This decadent and indulgent creamy peanut butter pie is a wonderful single serving dessert that's the perfect cure for a sweet craving.
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!

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.
