Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 2 tbsp sugar
Filling:
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Topping:
- 1 cup heavy cream for whipping
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions
Make the Crust
- Mix graham crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press firmly into pie dish bottom and sides. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Cool completely.
Soften the Butter
- Beat softened butter in large bowl until creamy. Add powdered sugar slowly. Mix on medium until fluffy and light. Scrape sides often.
Add Cream Cheese
- Beat in cream cheese until smooth. No lumps allowed. Stir in sour cream and vanilla. Blend for 2 minutes until velvety.
Whip the Cream
- In separate bowl, whip chilled heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold gently into butter mixture. Use spatula for even mix. Keep it airy.
Fill the Pie
- Spoon filling into cooled crust. Smooth top with spatula. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill in fridge for 3-4 hours.
Add Topping and Serve
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar. Spread or pipe on pie. Garnish with chocolate shavings. Slice and enjoy cold!
Notes
- Use room-temp butter for smoothest filling. Cold chunks ruin texture.
- Chill bowl before whipping cream. Peaks form faster and better.
- Add espresso powder to filling for coffee twist. Adults love it.
- Make mini pies in muffin tins. Great for parties.
- Swap graham for chocolate cookies. Deeper flavor boost.
- Vegan version: Use coconut cream and vegan butter. Tastes rich.
