Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Filling:

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Topping:

1 cup heavy whipping cream (for whipped topping)

3 tablespoons powdered sugar

½ cup mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, chopped (plus extras for garnish)

Chocolate syrup (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions
 

Make the Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.

        - Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.

          - Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

            Prepare the Filling:

              - In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

                - Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined and smooth.

                  - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

                    - Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.

                      Assemble the Pie:

                        - Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

                          - Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set properly.

                            Make the Whipped Topping:

                              - Once the pie is set, make the whipped topping by whipping the heavy cream with 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

                                - Spread the whipped cream over the top of the peanut butter filling, creating a beautiful layer.

                                  Add the Final Touches:

                                    - Sprinkle the chopped mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups over the whipped topping for a wonderful crunch.

                                      - If desired, drizzle chocolate syrup on top for an extra decadent touch.

                                        Serve and Enjoy:

                                          - Slice the pie into generous pieces and serve chilled. Enjoy each creamy, peanut-buttery bite!
