Peanut Butter-Chocolate Pie
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pie plate
- 9 whole graham crackers (1 sleeve), roughly broken
- 1/4 cup cocktail peanuts
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup cold heavy cream
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- Shaved chocolate, for topping
- Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch pie plate.
- Pulse the graham crackers and peanuts in a food processor until finely ground.
- Add the melted butter and pulse to combine.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the side of the prepared pie plate.
- Bake until set, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Transfer to a rack to cool.
- Meanwhile, put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50 percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
- Spread evenly in the prepared crust with a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon; set aside until the chocolate sets, about 10 minutes.
- Make the filling: Beat the heavy cream in a bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form; refrigerate until ready to use.
- In another bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese, milk and vanilla on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Add the confectioners' sugar and mix on low speed until incorporated.
- Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until combined, then fold in the rest.
- Spoon into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Top with shaved chocolate before serving.
