INGREDIENTS:

1 9-inch pie crust, pre-baked and cooled

1 cup smooth peanut butter

8 ounces of softened cream cheese

1 cup confectioners’ sugar

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Whipped cream for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Make the Peanut Butter Filling:

In a large mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese until it’s creamy and lump-free.

Add the smooth peanut butter and confectioners’ sugar to the cream cheese. Continue mixing until the mixture is thoroughly combined and smooth.

Whip the Cream:

In a different bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract together until the mixture forms stiff peaks. This will create a fluffy base that will lighten up the density of the peanut butter.

Combine the Mixtures:

Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Stir gently to keep the mixture light and airy.

Assemble the Pie:

Pour the peanut butter and whipped cream filling into your pre-baked pie crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top and ensure the filling is spread evenly.

Chill the Pie:

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly. This chilling time helps the pie firm up and develop its flavors.

Add Final Touches and Serve:

Before serving, sprinkle the top of the pie with chocolate chips for a decorative and tasty garnish, if using.

If desired, add a dollop of whipped cream to each slice for an extra touch of decadence.
