Tools & Supplies for Making Peanut Butter Pie
How to Make Peanut Butter Pie
- Mix together the chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs, granulated sugar and melted butter.
- Pour the crumbs into a 9-inch pan pan and spread evenly along the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Use a flat-bottomed measuring cup to press the crumbs into the bottom and sides. Chill the crust for 30 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour in the heavy cream and mix on medium speed until well combined and smooth. Pour the peanut butter mixture into the chilled crust and spread evenly with an offset spatula.
- Chill the cheesecake in the fridge for at least six hours, but ideally, overnight.
- Make whipped cream by whipping heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Use a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M piping tip to pipe the whipped cream onto the pie.
- Add on chopped peanut butter cups and drizzle on melted peanut butter.
