How to Make Ultimate Peanut Butter Pie

  1. Crush 2 cups of graham crackers into fine crumbs. Add 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter and mix until well combined.
  2. Press the crust into a 9-inch springform pan, working it 2 inches up the sides.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter and beat until completely incorporated.
  5. Set the peanut butter mixture aside.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream and 1/4 cup powdered sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  8. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  9. Sprinkle generously with 1/2 cup chopped honey-roasted peanuts.
  10. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
  11. Once firm, carefully remove the pie from the springform pan.
  12. Serve immediately. Drizzle with your favorite hot fudge sauce for an extra decadent treat (though it's amazing on its own!).
  13. Refrigerate any leftovers.
