It requires only a few minutes of prep time and minimal ingredients, making it a perfect treat for any occasion. Serve chilled and enjoy the sweet and nutty goodness in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until well combined.
  6. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread it evenly.

  8. Before serving, garnish with chopped peanuts and drizzle with chocolate sauce, if desired.
  9. Slice and serve chilled.
