Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • For the Peanut Butter Filling
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • For the Chocolate Ganache
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • mixing bowls
  • Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan
  • Offset spatula or spoon

Method
 

  1. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish and refrigerate.
  2. Beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.
  3. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, then beat until light and fluffy.
  4. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in three additions.
  6. Spread the filling evenly into the chilled crust.
  7. Heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer and pour it over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  8. Pour the ganache over the filling and spread evenly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use room-temperature cream cheese for the smoothest filling.
Freshly whipped cream creates the lightest texture.
Chill overnight for the cleanest slices and best flavor.
Dip a knife in hot water and wipe it clean between slices.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
