Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made crust Reduced-fat chocolate graham cracker crust
- 4 ounces Reduced-fat cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Low-fat whipped topping (thawed)
- 2 tablespoons Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Skim milk
- 2 tablespoons Peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the reduced-fat cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar, natural creamy peanut butter, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix on medium speed until well combined.
Gently fold the thawed low-fat whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix to keep the texture light and airy.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the pre-made reduced-fat chocolate graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and skim milk. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth (this should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute).
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the pie in a decorative pattern.
If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top for added crunch and garnish.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Remove the pie from the freezer about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly for easier slicing.
Slice into 8 even portions and serve immediately.
