Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Crust
- 1 (9-inch) prepared graham cracker crust
Garnish (optional)
- Chocolate syrup
- Chopped peanuts
- Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth the top evenly with a spatula to create a neat surface.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, allowing it to set properly. For a firmer texture, freeze the pie for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, optionally drizzle chocolate syrup over the top and sprinkle with chopped peanuts or mini chocolate chips. Slice and serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For a chocolatey variation, substitute the graham cracker crust with a chocolate cookie crust.
- You can prepare this pie ahead of time and freeze it; just thaw slightly before slicing to serve.
