Ingredients
  

For the Pie
  • 1 chocolate graham cracker crust store-bought or homemade
  • 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz frozen whipped topping thawed
  • whipped cream optional, for topping

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Springform Pan or Pie Dish
  • Electric Mixer or Hand Whisk

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Beat the cream cheese and sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Step 2: Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Step 3: Gently fold in the thawed frozen whipped topping using a spatula, being careful not to deflate it.
  4. Step 4: Spread the filling evenly into the chocolate graham cracker crust, smoothing the top.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set properly.
  6. Step 6: Serve the pie topped with whipped cream if desired for an extra touch of decadence.

Notes

Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Don’t overmix the whipped topping to keep the pie light and airy. Use a springform pan for easy serving. Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
