Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 cup whipped topping, and 1/2 cup chocolate syrup (optional).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend them together until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Once the peanut butter and powdered sugar are well combined, gently fold in the whipped topping. Use a spatula to carefully mix the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated and fluffy.
- Take your pre-made graham cracker pie crust and spoon the peanut butter mixture into it. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the crust, smoothing the top as desired.
- If you like, drizzle the chocolate syrup over the top of the pie for added flavor and decoration. You can either drizzle it in a pattern or cover the entire surface.
- Once assembled, cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set. This step is optional but recommended for the best texture.
- After chilling, remove the pie from the refrigerator. Slice into 8 equal servings and serve chilled. Enjoy your Easy Peanut Butter Pie!
Tips
- For the smoothest texture, ensure your peanut butter and powdered sugar are mixed thoroughly without any lumps.
- Use room temperature ingredients to make mixing easier and achieve a fluffier consistency.
- If you want extra richness, use full-fat whipped topping or even freshly whipped cream.
- Chill the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set perfectly - patience is key!
- For a gourmet touch, garnish with chopped peanuts, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of additional chocolate syrup before serving.
- Store the pie in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for the best taste and texture.
- For a variation, try using crunchy peanut butter or adding a layer of chocolate ganache underneath the peanut butter filling.
