Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup shaved semisweet chocolate
- Peanut butter filling, recipe follows
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup cream, whipped
- 1-ounce semisweet chocolate for shaving on top
Instructions
- Combine the peanuts, graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter in a bowl and pat down into a pie pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes to toast slightly. As soon as it comes out of the oven, sprinkle the crust bottom with the shaved chocolate and set aside. It should melt in, then set up later.
- Peanut Butter Filling: Using mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the cream cheese, peanut butter, milk and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 1 1/2 minutes. Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture and pour it into the pie shell. Freeze for 4 to 5 hours. Two hours before serving place pie in the refrigerator. Shave chocolate over the top just before serving.

Reviews
Amazing and easy to prepare. My family and I went crazy over this dessert. It is also a great alternative as a gift.
I love this recipe!! So easy and a good for sharing as gift..
delicious every time! serve in small slices as this is a VERY rich desert!!!! i like to incorporate a few crushed peanuts in to the mix or sprinkle on top with chocolate syrup, just another variation!!!
I’ve made this many times, its a good recipe, but can be screwed up easily. Use the peanut butter / whip cream to find a good equilibrium of creaminess and saltiness. It also helps to use a salty peanut butter and a more gritty natural peanut butter in combination in order to get a good blend of flavor. Overall its a great recipe once you get it down and can be a very rich, or light creamy dessert depending on how you choose to make it.
Side note:
It is delicious to add a scoop of coffee Ice cream and give it a little crunch with the peanut crust. This really is a very customizable recipe. If you want to know how I customized it message me.
Super tasty pie in small doses. If you want to cut down on the peanut butter or sugar I don’t think the pie will miss it. Easy to make and a definate crowd pleaser.
Awesome, this is a hit every time I make it!!
My niece Kristi LOVED this recipe!!!!! Sweet,but not overly so. I have tried multiple pie recipe’s and this was one of her favorites,and she knows her desserts!
Omitted the peanuts but every thing else was spot on!

If you make this, call me and I will come over with some coffee….super delicious!
This was absolutely wonderful. I did not add the peanuts to the crust, and did not feel that the omission detracted from the wonderful pie. It is rich, so small pieces are best. I will make this one again.
I guess it tastes good but was a little too beanut-buttery for me. The rest of my family loved it. However, next time I’m gonna leave the panuts out of the crust, too crunchy. Good over all:)
