Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese: Adds creaminess and richness to the pie. Ensure it’s softened for easy mixing.
• 1 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar: Sweetens the pie without making it grainy.
• 1 cup peanut butter: Brings flavor and extra creaminess; creamy or chunky as you prefer.
• 1 cup milk: Helps create a smooth, blendable consistency.
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen whipped topping, thawed: Lightens the pie’s texture. Whipped cream can be used if preferred but whip until stiff peaks form.
• 2 (9-inch) prepared graham cracker crusts: Provides a convenient crunchy base.

How to Make It

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and lump-free using an electric mixer. This step ensures that your pie has a smooth consistency.

Step 2: Add Sugars and Flavors

Gradually mix in confectioners’ sugar and peanut butter until well combined and creamy. Slowly stream in the milk as you continue to mix, allowing the mixture to thin out and combine evenly.

Step 3: Fold in the Whipped Topping

Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture. This keeps the texture light and airy.

Step 4: Fill the Pie Crusts

Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared graham cracker crusts. Smooth out the tops with a spatula for a neat finish.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the pies for at least 4 hours or until firm. This allows the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Recipe FAQs

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare it up to two days in advance and keep it refrigerated. It actually tastes better after the flavors have melded together.

What can I use instead of a graham cracker crust?

You can substitute with an Oreo crust or any other favorite cookie crust. Just remember to adjust the sweetness level in the filling as cooked cookies may add additional sweetness.

Is there a way to make this pie less sweet?

You can reduce the amount of confectioners’ sugar if you prefer a less sweet dessert, keeping in mind the pie will be thicker as the sugar helps achieve the right consistency.
