Ingredients

Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed and divided

Crust

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust

Toppings

  • 2–3 Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
  • ½ cup crushed peanuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, use an electric or hand mixer to beat together the softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, confectioners sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in half of the whipped topping (about 1 ½ cups) into the peanut butter mixture until just combined, maintaining the airy texture.
  3. Assemble the pie: Pour the peanut butter filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust and smooth the surface with a spatula or frosting knife. Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the top of the filling.
  4. Add toppings: Sprinkle the chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups and the crushed peanuts over the whipped topping to decorate and add crunch.
  5. Chill to set: Refrigerate the pie for 2 to 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow it to firm up before slicing and serving. Enjoy this creamy, no-bake dessert!

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • If you prefer a firmer pie, refrigerate overnight before serving.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the crushed peanuts and substitute peanut butter cups with a safe alternative.
  • Leftover pie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
