Instructions

Prepare the crust: If using a pre-baked pie crust, skip this step. Otherwise, bake your pie crust according to the package instructions and let it cool completely.
Make the peanut butter filling: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese and peanut butter. Use an electric mixer to beat until smooth and fully incorporated. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, and mix until everything is well combined.
Make the whipped cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Continue whipping until the cream holds stiff peaks.
Assemble the pie: Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the cooled pie crust. Top with the whipped cream, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the filling to set properly.
Serve: Once chilled, slice the pie and serve. Add optional toppings like chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings for extra flavor
