Ingredients

• For the Pie Crust:
  • 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust (or homemade)
• For the Peanut Butter Filling:

• For the Topping:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

5. Garnish:
