Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (150g) finely crushed Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 2 tablespoons (25g) packed Light Brown Sugar
- 4 tablespoons (56g) Melted Unsalted Butter
- 8 oz (226g) Cream Cheese, softened completely
- 1 cup (250g) Creamy Peanut Butter (unsweetened preferred)
- ½ cup (60g) sifted Powdered Sugar (Icing Sugar)
- ½ cup (120g) Plain, 0% Fat Greek Yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream, chilled
- 2-3 tablespoons Sweetener (Stevia/Erythritol Blend or granulated sugar)
- ¼ cup (30g) Roughly chopped Roasted Peanuts, for garnish
Instructions:
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, light brown sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is completely smooth and fluffy with no lumps.
- Add the peanut butter, sifted powdered sugar, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and salt to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on medium speed until just combined and smooth.
- In a separate, chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and chosen sweetener using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Take about one-third of the whipped cream and fold it vigorously into the peanut butter mixture to lighten it. Then, gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain.
- Pour the lightened filling into the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or until the pie is firm.
- Before serving, top with the chopped roasted peanuts. For the neatest presentation, slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water.
