This Peanut Butter Pie is a delightful combination of creamy peanut butter filling, a crunchy graham cracker crust, and a decadent chocolate ganache topping. It's a perfect treat for peanut butter lovers and dessert enthusiasts alike.

Ingredients

  • 1 9-inch graham cracker crust
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.
  3. Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until simmering. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  5. Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled pie. Return to the refrigerator for another hour to set.
  6. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the luscious and creamy Peanut Butter Pie with every bite!
