Unbelievable Peanut Butter Pie
A rich and creamy peanut butter pie with a buttery graham cracker crust, topped with Cool Whip and optional chocolate chips.
Ingredients
For the crust
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs For the crust
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted For the crust
For the filling
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cups Peanut butter, smooth
- 1 cups Powdered sugar For sweetness
- 8 oz Cool Whip For a light and airy texture
- optional Chocolate chips For garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until they resemble wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie dish to form an even crust. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the peanut butter and powdered sugar, mixing until creamy and well combined.
- Gently fold the Cool Whip into the peanut butter mixture, being careful not to deflate it too much.
- Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust and spread it evenly.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to let it set.
- When ready, garnish with chocolate chips if desired, slice, and serve chilled.
Notes
For a smoother filling, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature. You can use low-fat versions of cream cheese and Cool Whip to cut down on calories. Consider adding chopped peanuts on top for extra texture.
