Ingredients
Scale
Pie Base
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
Filling
- 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 8 oz. container whipped topping, thawed
Topping
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter together until smooth and well combined. Gradually add 1 cup of powdered sugar and continue mixing until fully incorporated and creamy.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped topping. Mix until evenly combined for a light and fluffy filling.
- Fill the Pie Crust: Spoon the peanut butter filling into the pre-made graham cracker pie crust, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
- Prepare Topping Drizzle: In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon peanut butter until smooth and drizzleable. You can warm it slightly if needed to help with drizzling.
- Top and Chill: Drizzle the peanut butter and powdered sugar mixture over the top of the pie for decoration. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Once chilled and set, slice the pie into 8 servings and enjoy the creamy, peanut buttery goodness.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use natural or homemade peanut butter.
- The pie is best served chilled and should be stored in the refrigerator.
- You can add crushed peanuts or chocolate chips on top for extra texture and flavor.
- Make sure to soften the cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling.
- If you prefer a sweeter pie, adjust the powdered sugar amount to taste.
