Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (or freshly whipped cream)
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (or homemade crust)
- Optional garnishes: chocolate drizzle, chopped peanuts, extra whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: If using a homemade crust, combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter and sugar. Press into a pie dish and chill in the refrigerator.
- Mix peanut butter and cream cheese: Beat until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
- Add powdered sugar: Gradually incorporate powdered sugar until fully mixed. Scrape the bowl sides as needed.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in whipped topping with a spatula, keeping the mixture light and airy.
- Fill the crust: Pour filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly. Smooth the top.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
- Add garnishes: Top with chocolate drizzle, chopped peanuts, or extra whipped cream as desired.
- Serve: Slice with a sharp knife, wiping between cuts for clean edges, and serve chilled.
Notes
For a chocolate twist, add a layer of chocolate ganache before pouring the filling.
Mini pies can be made in tart pans or cupcake liners for individual servings.
Substitutions: sunflower seed butter can replace peanut butter for nut-free versions.
