Ingredients
- 1 Chocolate Cookie Crust – The base layer of rich chocolate complements the peanut butter filling perfectly. You can use a store-bought crust or make your own with crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter.
- 1 1/2 cups Creamy Peanut Butter – The star of the show! Smooth peanut butter creates a rich and creamy filling. Make sure to use regular peanut butter rather than the natural kind for best texture.
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar – Adds just the right amount of sweetness without making the filling too grainy. Sift the sugar beforehand for a silky-smooth consistency.
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened – Cream cheese makes the filling incredibly smooth and gives it a slight tang, balancing out the sweetness.
- 1 1/2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream – Whipped to soft peaks, this will give the pie a light, airy texture. Be sure your cream is very cold before whipping.
- 1/2 cup Crushed Graham Crackers or Peanut Butter Cookies – A sprinkle on top for texture and flavor, adding a delightful crunch and extra peanut butter goodness.
