Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers (or Oreo cookies for variation)
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade)
- Optional toppings: chocolate shavings, crushed peanuts, caramel sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers with 6 tablespoons melted butter and press firmly into a 9-inch pie pan. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Mix the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fill the crust: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Add toppings: Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings, crushed peanuts, or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese and peanut butter are at room temperature for smooth blending. Chill the pie overnight for best results. Add a splash of milk if the filling is too thick.
