Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/4 cups (300 g) creamy peanut butter, divided
- 3/4 cup (90 g) powdered sugar
- 8 oz (225 g) whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 (9-inch) chocolate graham cracker crust
- 1 cup (150 g) mini peanut butter cups, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until fully incorporated and light in texture.
- Transfer the peanut butter filling into the prepared chocolate graham cracker crust. Spread evenly to smooth the top.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is firm and set.
- Before serving, drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup melted peanut butter over the top and garnish with chopped peanut butter cups if desired.
- Slice and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Do not overmix after adding the whipped topping to keep the texture light and fluffy.
- Chill the pie overnight for the best firmness and clean slices.
- You can substitute the crust with an Oreo crust for a richer chocolate flavor.
- This pie can be frozen and served slightly frozen for an ice cream-like texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
