Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers (or Oreo crumbs for chocolate crust)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter (for crust)
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • Optional topping: Chocolate sauce or mini peanut butter cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the peanut butter and beat until fully incorporated.
  3. Add sweetness and flavor: Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Lighten the texture: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain. Do not overmix; you want the filling to stay fluffy.
  5. Assemble the pie: Spoon the peanut butter filling evenly into the chilled crust. Spread the top smooth with a spatula.
  6. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For best results, chill overnight.
  7. Serve: Before serving, top with chocolate sauce or peanut butter cups, if desired. Slice and enjoy this quick peanut butter treat.

Notes

  • For an Oreo crust, use about 24 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos) crushed fine instead of graham crackers.
  • If you prefer a richer filling, substitute half of the whipped topping with heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks.
