Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
Prepare the Crust: In a food processor, process chocolate graham crackers and brown sugar until finely ground. Add melted butter and pulse until moistened. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate using the bottom of a measuring cup or glass. Bake for 10–12 minutes until fragrant. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Make the Filling: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese, ¾ cup powdered sugar, and peanut butter until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with an electric mixer until thick and light. Add remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and vanilla extract; continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Pour into the prepared crust.
Chill or Freeze: Freeze for 3 hours or refrigerate for at least 6 hours until set.
Add Toppings: Place melted peanut butter and chocolate in separate piping bags or resealable bags. Snip off a tiny corner and drizzle over the pie. Top with mini Reese’s cups and peanut butter chips.
Serve: Serve frozen or refrigerated, depending on preference.

Notes

– Use room-temperature cream cheese and peanut butter for smooth blending.

– Avoid overmixing the whipped cream to maintain its airy texture.

– Adjust powdered sugar levels after folding to ensure balanced sweetness.

– Store leftovers in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
