Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs (chocolate or regular can be used)
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 8 ounces whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
Topping (Optional)
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, white sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of an 8-9 inch pie pan to create the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Optional baking of crust: For a firmer crust, bake it at 375℉ (190℃) for 8 minutes. Allow it to cool completely before adding the filling.
- Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until well combined.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the peanut butter cream cheese filling into the chilled crust and spread evenly on top.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for 2 to 3 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly.
- Serve: Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate syrup as desired for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For a firmer crust, baking is optional but recommended.
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
- Use peanut butter without added sugar or oils for best texture.
- This pie can be made a day ahead to enhance flavors.
- Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
