PREPARATION:

 

1st Step

 

Combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a medium basin. Stir the mixture until it resembles moist sand and is thoroughly combined.

 

2nd Step

 

Transfer the graham cracker mixture to a pie dish measuring 9 inches. Using your fingertips or the base of a utensil, press the mixture into the dish’s bottom and up the sides to form the pie crust. Ensure that the crust is distributed and compacted evenly. Refrigerate the pie crust for 30 to 60 minutes to enable it to set and become firm.

 

3rd Step

 

In a large combining basin, thoroughly combine the softened cream cheese and rich peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar and pure vanilla extract while continuing to blend.

 

4th Step

 

Whip the heavy cream in a separate basin until firm peaks form. Gently combine the whipped cream with the peanut butter mixture, ensuring that the texture remains light and airy.

 

5th Step

 

Remove from the refrigerator the pie crust that has been refrigerated. Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the crust using a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate it for a minimum of four hours, preferably overnight. This enables the flavors to combine and the pie to achieve the ideal consistency.

 

6th Step

 

Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract to create a topping for the pie, if desired. Spread the whipped cream over the peanut butter filling that has been chilled.

 

7th Step

 

Before serving, decorate the Peanut Butter Pie with pulverized peanuts or chocolate shavings for added elegance and texture. Cut the pie into slices and serve it refrigerated, relishing each velvety hazelnut morsel.
