Easy No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Filling

01 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
02 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
03 - 3/4 cup powdered sugar
04 - 3 cups whipped topping, thawed

→ For the Crust

05 - 1 chocolate graham cracker crust (9-inch)

→ For the Topping

06 - 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, melted for drizzling
07 - 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped

# Instructions:

01 - In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until completely smooth and creamy. A hand mixer makes this step much easier!
02 - Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into your peanut butter mixture until well combined. Take your time - you want it smooth but still fluffy.
03 - Spoon the peanut butter filling into your chocolate graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Make sure it's even for that picture-perfect slice!
04 - Cover the pie and refrigerate until fully set, at least 4 hours or overnight. This waiting part is tough, but worth it!
05 - Before serving, drizzle with melted peanut butter and sprinkle with chopped peanut butter cups for that wow factor.

# Notes:

01 - This no-bake dessert is perfect for hot summer days or when you need a quick make-ahead treat.
02 - Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for a frozen peanut butter pie experience.
03 - Try different toppings like chocolate sauce or mini chocolate chips for variety.
