Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until well combined.

Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the graham cracker crust.

-
Stir in the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate.

Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly.

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Before serving, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for garnish, if desired.
Variations & Tips
-
For a different twist, try using a chocolate cookie crust instead of a graham cracker crust.
-
You can also add a layer of sliced bananas between the crust and the peanut butter filling for a fruity touch.
-
If you’re a fan of salty-sweet combinations, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate layer before it sets.
-
For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and whipped topping instead of heavy cream.
