Equipment
- 1 food processor
- 1 9 inch pie plate
Ingredients
Graham Craker Crust
- 18 whole graham crackers
- 6 tbsp butter, melted
Creamy Peanut Butter Pie Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
Graham Cracker Crust
- Pre-heat oven to 350F
- In a food processor, blend the graham crackers until finely ground.
- Melt the butter
- Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix with the melted butter until uniform and clumpy.
- Add the crumb mixture to an 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Press them into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. I use my spatula to do this.
- Bake the pie crust for 10 minutes, then remove and allow to cool completely.
Creamy Peanut Butter Pie Filling
- To make the peanut butter filling, wipe out your food processor and add the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
- Process until uniform.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Add the peanut butter mixture, starting with a little bit, to the whipped cream and fold it together until there are no streaks.
- Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled pie crust, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or up to overnight.
