Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 graham cracker crust (9-inch, store-bought or homemade)
Peanut Butter Layer
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 container (4 oz) whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
Marshmallow Layer
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (use the remaining 4 oz)
- 1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff
Optional Toppings
- Chopped peanuts
- Mini marshmallows
- Chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare Peanut Butter Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Sweeteners: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined, making sure the texture remains smooth and evenly blended.
- Incorporate Whipped Topping (Peanut Butter Layer): Gently fold in half of the whipped topping (about 4 oz) into the peanut butter mixture, blending carefully to keep the mixture light and fluffy.
- Fill Crust with Peanut Butter Layer: Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust to create the bottom layer of the pie.
- Prepare Marshmallow Layer: In a separate bowl, gently fold the marshmallow fluff into the remaining whipped topping (4 oz) until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Top the Peanut Butter Layer: Spread the marshmallow mixture evenly over the peanut butter layer in the crust, creating a distinct top layer.
- Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until firmly set to allow the layers to meld and the pie to achieve the proper texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, optionally sprinkle chopped peanuts, mini marshmallows, or drizzle melted chocolate over the top for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, substitute the graham cracker crust with an Oreo cookie crust.
- This pie can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve, making it perfect for parties and gatherings.
