Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • chocolate shavings for garnish

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • pie pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly coated.
  3. Press the mixture into a pie pan to form the crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
  5. In another bowl, combine peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  7. Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture gently until fully combined.
  8. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
  10. Garnish with chocolate shavings before serving.

Notes

For a chocolate twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the crust before adding the filling. Use crunchy peanut butter for extra texture, or add a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness. Chill overnight for best flavor and texture.
