Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Press the graham cracker crumbs mixed with melted butter evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 15-30 minutes.
  2. Whip Cream Cheese and Peanut Butter: Using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until completely smooth and creamy, forming the rich heart of the pie.
  3. Add Sweetness and Flavor: Gradually incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the mixture, ensuring everything blends smoothly with no lumps.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping, preserving as much air as possible to keep the filling light and fluffy.
  5. Chill and Set: Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the pie to firm up and flavors to deepen.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and peanut butter to avoid lumps.
  • Gently fold whipped topping to maintain light and airy texture.
  • Chill the pie thoroughly for best flavor and firm texture.
  • Use natural or homemade peanut butter for superior flavor.
  • Add a pinch of salt if using unsalted peanut butter to enhance flavors.
