Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzling)
- 2 tablespoons Salted peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press it firmly. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
Fold in the thawed whipped topping gently, using a spatula, until the filling is light and fluffy.
Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and spoon the filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set.
Before serving, drizzle the pie with chocolate syrup and sprinkle with chopped salted peanuts for garnish, if desired.
Slice the pie, serve chilled, and enjoy!
