Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups heavy cream, divided
- 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (such as Skippy’s)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup (90 g) confectioners’ sugar
Crust
- 1 store-bought or homemade 9″ graham cracker crust, baked and cooled
Topping
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped roasted salted peanuts
Instructions
- Whip the cream: In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Prepare peanut butter mixture: In another large bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, kosher salt, and 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar on medium speed until combined and fluffy, roughly 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup heavy cream and continue beating until combined and lightened in color, about 1 minute more.
- Fold in whipped cream: Add a dollop of the whipped cream to the peanut butter mixture. Using a flexible spatula, fold gently until no streaks remain and the texture is slightly lightened. Then add the remaining whipped cream and fold in gently until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth the top evenly. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight to set.
- Make topping whipped cream: When ready to serve, in a large bowl, beat the remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Decorate and serve: Unwrap the chilled pie, spread the freshly whipped cream evenly over the top, and sprinkle with the coarsely chopped roasted salted peanuts. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing for a smooth filling.
- The pie must chill for at least 4 hours to properly set and develop flavor.
- You can use a homemade graham cracker crust or store-bought for convenience.
- Adjust sweetness by tuning the amount of confectioners’ sugar according to your preference.
- Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
