Instructions
1
Process the graham crackers or cookies in a food processor until fairly fine and place in a bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until the crumbs are well coated with the butter and the mixture holds together.
2
Pour the crumbs in a 9" pie plate and press evenly along the bottom and up the sides. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
3
Place the softened cream cheese in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the peanut butter, sugar and vanilla and beat until incorporated. If using natural peanut butter, it will appear oily, but it will come together once the whipped cream is added!
4
In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream until medium peaks just begin to form. Pour the cream into the peanut butter mixture and beat until combined and the mixture is smooth. It's important not to over beat the mixture as the cream can turn into butter.
5
Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust and spread evenly. Chill for 3-4 hours or overnight until set.
6
If using ganache, prepare it and pour it over the pie the day you plan to serve it. Top it with the chopped peanuts and chill until the ganache is set, about 30-40 minutes. Slice, serve and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Your Ganache Properly 🧊Cool the chocolate ganache to room temperature before spreading on the crust to prevent the graham cracker base from becoming soggy and maintain distinct layers.
- Toast Your Peanuts for Depth 🥜Lightly toast the chopped peanuts in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and create a more complex taste profile.
- Whip Cream to Soft Peaks 🤍Stop beating heavy cream at soft peaks rather than stiff peaks to maintain a mousse-like texture in your peanut butter filling that's creamy rather than dense.
- Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese 🧀Allow cream cheese to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to ensure smooth, lump-free blending with peanut butter and eliminated lumps.
- Freeze Between Layers ❄️Chill the crust and ganache layer for 15 minutes before adding the peanut butter filling to prevent layers from mixing and create clean, distinct separation.
