Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
Filling
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 container (7 oz) marshmallow fluff
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Optional Garnishes
- Chopped peanuts
- Melted chocolate
- Mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter and softened cream cheese until smooth and well combined. Add the marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract, mixing continuously until the mixture is fully blended with no lumps.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula, stirring carefully to keep the mixture light and fluffy without deflating the whipped topping.
- Fill the Crust: Spoon the fluffy filling evenly into the graham cracker crust, spreading it out smoothly with the back of a spoon or spatula to cover the entire base.
- Chill the Pie: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set firmly. This step is essential for the pie to hold its shape and develop the right texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, optionally sprinkle chopped peanuts, drizzle melted chocolate, or scatter mini marshmallows over the top for extra texture and flavor. Slice the pie and serve chilled for the best taste.
Notes
- This pie requires no baking, making it quick and easy to prepare.
- For a homemade crust, combine 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers with 1/3 cup melted butter, press into a pie pan, and chill before filling.
- Serve this rich and sweet dessert cold to maintain its fluffy texture.
