Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1/3 cup granulated sugar

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Chocolate shavings or crushed peanuts for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are well coated. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.

    Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and creamy.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Then gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until no streaks remain.

        Assemble the Pie: Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Smooth out the top with a spatula.

          Chill: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

            Serve: Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings or crushed peanuts. Slice and enjoy the creamy, nutty goodness of your old-fashioned peanut butter pie!
