Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Pie Crust

  • 1 premade graham cracker pie crust
  • Filling

  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup confectioners’ 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 confectioners’ 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.
