Serving Suggestions
Be sure to keep the pie refrigerated until it’s time to serve, as the filling will soften! While you can enjoy the pie as-is, I always like to add a few fun toppings just before serving. If you won’t be eating the entire pie at once, you can add the toppings to individual slices. A few ideas include whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or caramel sauce.

- Place the cream cheese into a large bowl and whip with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time until mixed in. Add the peanut butter and vanilla, mix to combine.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until there are no streaks left.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture into the crust and smooth out the top. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for a minimum of 5 hours until set, ideally overnight.

I loved it but I used Graham Cracjer Crust instead of Chocolate because I’m allergic to Chocolate and it was still delicious !!!
