Coconut sugar is a less processed option.

Mix together 1 and 3/4 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup melted salted butter until combined.

Press the mixture into a pie dish and let it sit for about an hour or bake it in the oven for 5 minutes, then cool for about 30 minutes to firm up.

In a separate bowl, whip together 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overmix.

Transfer the whipped cream to another bowl and set aside. Clean the mixing bowl and switch to a paddle attachment.

Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 8 oz softened cream cheese to the bowl and cream together until well blended.

Slowly mix in 1 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar to the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture, being cautious to avoid making a mess.

Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until smooth and well combined, resulting in a light tan color.

Pour the mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth it out.

Decorate the top with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups as desired.

Chill the pie for about an hour before serving.
