Description
A decadent cheesecake pie combining creamy peanut butter and rich cream cheese, nestled in a crunchy graham cracker crust, topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Chocolate syrup (for topping)
- Chopped peanuts (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well mixed. Spoon the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing firmly into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool completely before filling.
- Beat together the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the peanut butter mixture to add airiness.
- Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 240 minutes or until set.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup and sprinkle with chopped peanuts before serving.
