Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1 8oz package cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

¼ cup chopped peanuts (for garnish)

Chocolate shavings or syrup (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Place in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.

    Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and peanut butter. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated and fluffy.

        Assemble the Pie: Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour the peanut butter filling into the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

          Chill: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For optimal taste, overnight chilling is recommended.

            Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top and drizzle chocolate syrup or add chocolate shavings for an indulgent touch.
