Peanut Butter Pie

Ingredients:
Crust:
1 c. Graham Cracker Crumbs
1/4 c. Granulated Sugar
1/4 c. Butter, melted

Instructions for the crust:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, until well blended. Press evenly in to a buttered 9- inch pie pan, reaching up to but not over the rim. Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool the crust completely.

Filling:
8 oz. Cream Cheese
1 c. Creamy Peanut Butter
1 c. Confectioners' Sugar
2 Tbs. Unsalted Butter, softened
1 Tbs. Pure Vanilla Extract
1/2 c. Cream

Instructions for the filling:
Beat, on medium speed, the cream cheese and peanut butter until combined. Add the confectioners' sugar, butter, and vanilla and continue beating until light and fluffy. In a seperate mixing bowl, whip the cream until not quite stiff. Fold a large spoonful of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten it; gently fold in the remainder. Carefully spoon the filling into the cooled crust, spreading evently. Loosely cover the pie and refrigerate until firm, approximately 3 hours.
