Peanut Butter Cream Pie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Chocolate Cookie Base

01 - 7 tablespoons unsalted butter (99g), melted
02 - 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
03 - 14 whole chocolate graham crackers (196g), or chocolate Teddy Grahams

→ Peanut Butter Filling

04 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter (270g)
05 - 8 ounces cream cheese (227g), softened to room temperature
06 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream (240g)
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (94g), divided

→ Tasty Extras

09 - Peanut butter chips
10 - Mini Reese's peanut butter cups
11 - Drizzle of melted chocolate
12 - Drizzle of melted peanut butter

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 325°F. In a food processor, crush the crackers and sugar until they’re fine crumbs. Add in the butter and mix. Press this mix into a 9-inch pan and bake for about 10-12 minutes until it smells great. Let it completely cool.
02 - Use an electric mixer to beat together the cream cheese, peanut butter, and 3/4 cup powdered sugar until airy and smooth—3 minutes should do.
03 - In a fresh bowl, whisk the heavy cream until it starts to get thick. Slowly add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and vanilla, then keep whipping until firm peaks hold.
04 - Fold the whipped cream into your peanut butter mix carefully. Spread this into your cooled crust, then put it in the freezer for 3 hours or chill in the fridge for 6 hours or more.
05 - Use a piping or resealable bag to drizzle peanut butter and chocolate on top. Finish up with peanut butter chips and mini Reese's cups as sprinkles.

# Notes:

01 - If you’d rather use almond butter, add an extra splash of vanilla for flavor!
02 - Stays good for a month in the freezer or 3 days in the fridge.
03 - Chocolate Teddy Grahams can be a perfect alternative to chocolate graham crackers.
