Instructions

Prepare the base mixture: In a large bowl, beat the creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese together until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
Add sweetness and flavor: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract thoroughly until the filling is well blended and uniform in texture.
Incorporate whipped topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping to the peanut butter mixture to create a light, airy texture without deflating the whipped topping.
Fill the crust: Pour the creamy filling evenly into the pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
Chill to set: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for 2 to 3 hours, or until the filling is fully set and firm for slicing.
Add toppings and serve: Before serving, optionally garnish the pie with chocolate shavings, extra whipped cream, or crushed peanuts for added flavor and texture.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth texture.
If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the powdered sugar slightly.
Thawed whipped topping should be folded gently to keep the pie light and fluffy.
This pie is best served chilled and can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
