Description

Indulge in the creamy decadence of The Best Easy Peanut Butter Pie. This no-bake dessert is a peanut butter lover’s dream with a silky smooth filling in a graham cracker crust, topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.


Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)

Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping, plus extra for garnish

Topping:

  • Chocolate shavings or peanut butter chips for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  3. Fold in the whipped topping until the filling is light and fluffy.
  4. Spoon the mixture into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  6. Before serving, garnish with extra whipped topping and chocolate shavings or peanut butter chips if desired. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes
