Step 2: In a stand mixer cream your softened cream cheese. Once it is whipped up you will want to add in the heavy cream.
Step 3: Then slowly stir in the powdered sugar, don’t do too much at a time or it will splatter out. Add in your vanilla extract. Blend until creamy.
Step 4: Pour the peanut butter cream cheese mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust. Smooth and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Expert Tips
- I used half creamy peanut butter and half crunchy. I liked the mix of nuts in the pie. You can do all one style of peanut butter if you want.
- Get creative with the pie toppings. Whipped cream, a drizzle of peanut butter that has been melted, or serves plain.
- You can make this a day or two in advance. A great make-ahead dessert.
- Swap the graham cracker crust with an Oreo or cookie crust. It gives a nice peanut butter chocolate pie flavor.
- If you want to serve this in a traditional pie crust, go ahead and make and bake the pie crust. Allow the crust to fully cool before you pour the peanut butter filling in.
