Filling
- ⅔ cup peanut butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 4 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
Crust
- 1 9” graham cracker pie crust or Oreo pie crust
Garnish (Optional)
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or whisk.
- Add Sweetener: Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, ensuring the mixture is well incorporated and smooth.
- Incorporate Milk: Slowly add the milk while continuously mixing to create a smooth, pourable filling consistency.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip to lighten the mixture and add fluffy texture without overmixing.
- Fill Pie Crust: Pour the creamy peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared graham cracker or Oreo pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set, to allow the filling to firm up properly.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts on top if desired for added crunch and presentation.
Notes
- Use full-fat peanut butter for a richer taste and creamier texture.
- Room temperature cream cheese blends more easily for a smooth filling.
- Keep the pie chilled until serving to maintain firmness.
- For a chocolate twist, opt for the Oreo crust or drizzle with chocolate sauce before chilling.
- Store leftovers refrigerated and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
