Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- â…” cup peanut butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup milk
Crust
- 1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust or Oreo pie crust
Topping
- 4 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- Roasted peanuts, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Cream the filling: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the peanut butter, room temperature cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined. Gradually add the milk while continuing to mix to create a creamy filling.
- Fill the crust: Pour the peanut butter mixture into the prepared 9-inch graham cracker or Oreo pie crust. Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly and level out the surface.
- Add the topping: Spread the thawed Cool Whip evenly over the peanut butter filling using a rubber spatula. If desired, sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts on top for added texture and flavor.
- Freeze and serve: Place the pie in the freezer for at least 3 hours to set. Before serving, remove the pie from the freezer about 10 minutes prior to cutting to allow it to soften slightly for easier slicing.
