Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Pie Crust

  • 1 premade graham cracker pie crust
  • Filling

  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup confectionersโ€™ sugar
  • 8 oz whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • Topping

  • 4 oz whipped topping
  • Chopped salted peanuts (optional, for garnish)
  • Chocolate sauce (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and confectionersโ€™ sugar. Whip the mixture until it is smooth and well blended, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in 8 oz of whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and the filling is light and airy.
  3. Assemble Pie: Pour the prepared filling into the premade graham cracker pie crust. Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly, filling the crust completely.
  4. Add Topping: Spread the additional 4 oz of whipped topping evenly over the top of the filled pie. Smooth the topping to the edges to create an even layer.
  5. Chill: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top the pie with chopped salted peanuts and a drizzle of chocolate sauce, if desired. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Chill the pie for at least 2 hours to firm it up and develop the flavors.
  • Use a large, sharp knife to cut neat slices, cleaning the knife between cuts for best presentation.
  • To freeze the pie, cover it with plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn.
  • When ready to serve from frozen, slice with a sharp knife while still firm.
  • Store leftovers tightly covered and return to the fridge or freezer promptly.
  • The pie can be made several days ahead for convenience.
