Ingredients
Filling
8ozCream CheeseUse softened cream cheese for easy mixing.
1cupCreamy Peanut ButterCrunchy peanut butter can be used for added texture.
1cupConfectioners' SugarGranulated sugar can be used, but the texture will be grainier.
8ozFrozen Whipped ToppingHomemade whipped cream can be used as a substitute.
Crust
1pkgPrepared Graham Cracker CrustA store-bought crust saves time, or you can make a homemade crust from crushed graham crackers and butter.
Garnish
1cupMiniature Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter CupsCan substitute with chocolate shavings or drizzle.
Instructions
Preparation
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, and confectioners' sugar together until you achieve a smooth, dreamy consistency—about 2-3 minutes should do the trick.
Gently fold half of the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, using a spatula to keep that light and airy texture intact.
Spoon the luscious peanut butter mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly for a beautifully smooth surface.
Spread the remaining whipped topping over the filling, creating a fluffy cloud-like layer that adds both taste and texture.
Decorate your pie with mini chocolate-covered peanut butter cups, arranging them beautifully to entice everyone at the table.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you can resist, to allow it to set perfectly before slicing and serving.
Notes
For an extra decadent touch, drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving. Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps for a smooth filling.
