Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 (8 ounces) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (8 ounces) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
Sweetener:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl, ensuring thorough mixing.
- Firmly press the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, creating an even, compact base.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whip cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently fold whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture, maintaining a light, airy texture.
- Carefully spread the creamy peanut butter filling over the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing the filling to set and flavors to meld.
- Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.
Notes
- Customize the crust by swapping graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or crushed gluten-free cookies for those with dietary restrictions.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smoother mixing and preventing lumps in the filling.
- Opt for natural peanut butter with no added sugar to control sweetness and reduce overall sugar content.
- Garnish with chocolate drizzle, chopped peanuts, or whipped cream to elevate presentation and add extra texture and flavor complexity.
