Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups Ricotta cheese
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream (for fudge topping)
• 2 tablespoons Peanuts, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, peanut butter, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Gradually beat in the powdered sugar, followed by the heavy cream, and continue mixing until the filling is light and fluffy.

Step 7

Spread the peanut butter ricotta filling evenly into the cooled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.

Step 9

Pour the chocolate fudge topping over the pie, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Let it set for 5-10 minutes.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle the top with chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 11

Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the creamy, fudgy layers of peanut butter and ricotta goodness.
