Ingredients
  

For the Pie
  • 1 crust chocolate graham cracker crust pre-made or homemade
  • 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter or chunky if preferred
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz frozen whipped topping thawed
  • whipped cream for serving (optional)

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Electric Mixer or Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Beat the cream cheese and sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer or whisk.
  2. Step 2: Add peanut butter and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully combined and silky.
  3. Step 3: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula to maintain a light, fluffy texture.
  4. Step 4: Evenly spread the filling over the chocolate graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spoon or offset spatula.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to set and allow flavors to meld. For best results, chill overnight.
  6. Step 6: Slice and serve with whipped cream if desired. Let pie sit at room temperature 10-15 minutes before slicing if too firm.

Notes

Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth filling. Avoid overmixing when folding in whipped topping to keep airy texture. Pie keeps well refrigerated up to 4 days or can be frozen up to 1 month—thaw overnight before serving.
