Course: Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 graham cracker crust store bought or homemade
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 8 ounces cool whip plus extra for topping
  • Reese's cup minis, roughly chopped, for topping, optional

Method
 

  1. Add the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar to a large mixing bowl. Beat together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Add the Cool Whip to the bowl and gently stir until the filling becomes light, fluffy, and evenly blended.
  3. Transfer the peanut butter filling into the prepared graham cracker crust and spread it out into an even layer.
  4. Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the filling has firmed up.
  5. Slice the pie and serve with extra Cool Whip and chopped Reese’s Cup minis on top if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing so the filling becomes smooth and creamy.
  • Chill the pie for the full 4 hours to help the filling set properly for clean slices.
  • A chocolate cookie crust can be used instead of graham cracker crust for a peanut butter chocolate twist.
  • Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
  • This pie can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
