Ingredients

Scale

Pie Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Crust

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust

Optional Toppings

  • Chocolate shavings
  • Whipped cream
  • Crushed peanuts


Instructions

  1. Beat peanut butter and cream cheese: In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat the creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla: Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully blended into the mixture, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping, being careful to preserve its light and fluffy texture for the pie filling.
  4. Fill the crust: Pour the creamy peanut butter filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula for a smooth surface.
  5. Refrigerate to set: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for 2 to 3 hours, or until the filling is firm and fully set.
  6. Add toppings and serve: Before serving, decorate the pie with chocolate shavings, whipped cream, and/or crushed peanuts as desired for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
  • Use a high-quality creamy peanut butter for the best flavor and texture.
  • This pie should be kept refrigerated and is best served chilled.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator covered tightly for up to 3 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, consider using dairy-free cream cheese and whipped topping alternatives.
