   • Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the cooled crust.
3. Prepare the Topping:
   • Whip the heavy cream with powdered erythritol and vanilla extract until it forms soft peaks.
   • Spread the whipped cream over the peanut butter filling.
4. Chill and Serve:
   • Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or until set.
   • Before serving, optionally sprinkle crushed sugar-free peanut butter cups on top for extra indulgence.
