How to Make No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer at medium speed to beat together cream cheese, peanut butter, brown sugar, and ¼ cup of whipping cream. Continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a separate bowl, beat the remaining whipping cream, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar at high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Combine the Mixtures:
- Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to loosen it. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the airy texture.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Transfer the peanut butter filling into the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 8 hours to allow it to set.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Optionally, garnish each slice with chopped peanuts for a crunchy topping.
Tips for Success
- Chill Time is Key: For the best texture, allow the pie to chill for the full 8 hours (or overnight).
- Softened Cream Cheese: Ensures a smooth filling without lumps.
- Custom Toppings: Drizzle with melted chocolate, add whipped cream dollops, or sprinkle mini chocolate chips for extra flair.
