How to Make Peanut Butter Pie With Fudge Topping

  1. **Make the Crust:** Generously butter a 9-inch glass pie plate.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. **Make the Peanut Butter Filling:** In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese (softened) and 1 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add 1 cup powdered sugar and 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, and beat until light and fluffy.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  7. Gradually add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and beat until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten it.
  9. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined.
  10. Pour the peanut butter filling into the chilled crust.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or until firm.
  12. **Make the Fudge Topping:** In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips with ¼ cup heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  13. Let the fudge topping cool to lukewarm.
  14. Spread the fudge topping evenly over the set peanut butter filling.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or until the topping is firm.
  16. Enjoy! Can be prepared 1 day ahead.
