Decadent Peanut Butter Pie

Ingredients

Cream cheese

8 oz, softened

Creamy peanut butter

1 cup

Powdered sugar

1 cup

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Heavy cream

1 cup

Graham cracker crust

1 (9-inch) crust

Chocolate syrup

1/2 cup, for drizzling

Chopped peanuts

1/2 cup, for topping

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter. Using an electric mixer, beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until everything is well combined and fluffy.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This will give the pie its light and airy texture.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; you want to keep the filling light and fluffy.
5. Pour the luscious peanut butter filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
6. Drizzle chocolate syrup generously over the top of the pie. Then sprinkle the chopped peanuts for added crunch and flavor.
7. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set and firm.
8. Once set, slice, serve chilled, and enjoy the rich flavors of this decadent dessert!
