Steps To Make Frozen Peanut Butter Pie

1. Line The Pie Crust

In a round dish, line the pie crust. As mentioned earlier, you can buy a store-bought pie crust or use homemade pie crust. You can also go for a graham cracker crust by combining crushed graham crackers with butter and lining the dish. 

2. Prepare The Pie Filling

Take a bowl and transfer whipped cream into it. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream at medium speed until soft peaks form. 

Combine softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Beat until the mixture turns creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Fold in whipped cream. 

3. Line The Dish

With the help of a spoon, transfer the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pie crust. Freeze the pie for an hour. Take the pie out and spread chocolate ganache over it. 

Here you can use store-bought chocolate ganache or make it at home by using equal quantities of dairy cream and dark chocolate. 

Place the frozen peanut butter pie back in the freezer for 2 hours or until firm. Garnish the pie with whipped cream, chocolate curls, or chopped chocolate-peanut butter candy.
