Method
- Preheat the oven to 325 F.
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter until mixture is moist. Press into a 9-inch pie plate.
- Bake the crust in the oven until toasted, about 10-12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat softened cream cheese, ¾ cup powdered sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl until soft and light. If using a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment.
- In a separate bowl, make the whipped cream. Using the whisk attachment of your mixer or a balloon whisk, whisk heavy cream until thick. Add remaining ¼ cup of powdered sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form.
- Add 2 cups of whipped cream to the peanut butter mixture and beat until combined and creamy. Reserve the remaining whipped cream in a covered bowl in the refrigerator.
- Smooth the peanut butter filling into the baked graham cracker crust with a spatula. Chill in the refrigerator until set, about 3-4 hours.
- Once the pie is set, spoon reserved whipped cream on top and spread to cover. Sprinkle shaved chocolate over top. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
This pie is best served chilled. For a twist, consider adding a layer of banana slices between the crust and filling for a peanut butter banana pie.
