"Elvis" Pie

I hear that Elvis liked peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Also bacon. This pie has peanut butter and bananas, and therefore, it was named for Elvis.

What You'll Need:

For the filling:
1 cup peanut butter
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 9-inch graham cracker crust
2 bananas, sliced
For the topping:
1 cup cold heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
Chopped roasted peanuts

How to Make It:

In a medium bowl, cream the peanut butter, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. In another bowl, beat the cream until soft peaks form (it will almost be the consistency of Cool Whip.) Mix the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture with your mixture set on low, until everything is smoothly combined. Pour half of the filling into the pie crust, and smooth it out with a spatula. Layer the bananas on top. Pour the rest of the peanut butter filling over the bananas and spread it out with the spatula. Cover the pie and refrigerate at least an hour, or overnight. When you're ready to make the topping, beat the remaining cream and sugar with your mixer until soft peaks form. Spread the topping over the pie, and top with the chopped peanuts.
