This classic Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Pie features a creamy, rich peanut butter filling in a buttery graham cracker crust — a nostalgic dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar; press mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate to form the crust.

  3. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until well blended.

Notes

For an extra rich flavor, use natural peanut butter and chill the pie overnight for best results.
