Peanut Butter Pie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 196 grams (14 full sheets) of chocolate graham crackers.
02 - A tablespoon of brown sugar (light variety).
03 - 99 grams of unsalted butter, melted (7 tablespoons).
04 - 8 ounces (227 grams) of cream cheese, softened to room temperature.
05 - Powdered sugar, 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons, split (94 grams).
06 - 1 cup (270 grams) of smooth peanut butter, regular kind.
07 - A cup of heavy cream, 240 milliliters.
08 - Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon.
09 - Warm peanut butter for drizzling over the top.
10 - Melted chocolate to use as a topping.
11 - Small Reese's candies for finishing.
12 - Peanut butter chips to sprinkle.

# Instructions:

01 - Turn the oven on and set it to 325°F.
02 - Grind up the graham crackers and sugar in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs stick together. Press this mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and sides using the back of a cup or something similar.
03 - Bake until it smells nice and toasty, which should take 10–12 minutes. Let it cool fully on a rack.
04 - Mix together cream cheese, 3/4 cup of powdered sugar, and peanut butter in a large bowl using an electric beater. Beat until the mixture gets fluffy and creamy, which takes 3 minutes or so.
05 - Use a whisk attachment on a mixer to whip the whipped cream in a different bowl until it thickens and becomes light. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar along with the vanilla extract and whip further until the peaks hold their shape when lifted.
06 - Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Transfer this filling mixture into your ready-to-go pie shell. Leave it in the freezer for at least 3 hours or chill in the fridge for 6 hours minimum.
07 - Use piping bags or resealable bags filled with warm peanut butter and chocolate. Snip a corner to drizzle them over your chilled pie. Add Reese's cups and peanut butter chips on top to finish it off.

# Notes:

01 - You can swap in Chocolate Teddy Grahams if the crackers aren’t available.
02 - Keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to one month.
