Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the Filling:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (whipped until stiff peaks form)
Directions
Step 1: Make the Crust
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until fully combined. The texture should feel like wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
Place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Peanut Butter Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Make sure there are no lumps – this step is key for that silky texture.
Step 3: Fold in the Whipped Cream
Gently fold in your whipped cream (or Cool Whip if you prefer a shortcut) into the peanut butter mixture until fully blended.
Add in the mini chocolate chips and stir lightly – you want them evenly distributed throughout the filling.
Step 4: Assemble the Pie
Spoon the creamy peanut butter mixture into your chilled graham cracker crust.
Smooth the top with a spatula, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for a pretty finish, and cover with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Serving Tips
For clean slices, dip your knife in hot water before each cut.
Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of melted chocolate, or even crushed Reese’s cups for an extra indulgent twist.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Pie
- Always use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth texture.
- Want extra crunch? Add crushed pretzels or chopped peanuts to the crust.
- Freeze the pie for 30 minutes before serving if you prefer a firmer texture.
