No Bake Peanut Butter Pie Simple and Delicious Treat

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup whipped cream
• 0.25 cup chopped peanuts
• 1 serving chocolate shavings or syrup

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
2. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
4. Mix in the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and fluffy.
5. Gently fold in the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
6. Spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled graham cracker crust and spread it evenly.
7. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.
8. Once set, remove the pie from the fridge. Top with additional whipped cream, a sprinkle of chopped peanuts, and drizzle with chocolate syrup or add chocolate shavings for extra flair.
