Monster Peanut Butter Cheesecake Pie

Ingredients

For the crust
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling
1 cup creamy peanut butter
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)

For the topping
1/2 cup chocolate chips (melted)
1/4 cup peanut butter (melted)
Optional: chopped peanuts, mini chocolate chips, or candy pieces

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the texture looks like wet sand. Press firmly into a pie dish to form the crust. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then let it cool completely.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and well combined.

In another bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until light and fluffy.

Spread the filling evenly over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).

Drizzle melted chocolate and peanut butter over the top. Add any extra toppings you like for that “monster” look.

Slice and serve chilled
