Ingredients:
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
- Shaved chocolate (for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and milk.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
-
Fold in the Cool Whip:
- Gently fold the Cool Whip into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the Cool Whip too much, as it adds a light and fluffy texture to the filling.
-
Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the creamy peanut butter filling into a prepared pie crust of your choice. Whether you opt for a traditional graham cracker crust or a chocolate cookie crust, the choice is yours!
-
Chill Well:
- Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least an hour, allowing the filling to set and the flavors to meld together. For best results, chill overnight for a firmer texture.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Just before serving, sprinkle the top of the pie with shaved chocolate. You can use a chilled Hershey’s bar and a vegetable peeler to create delicate chocolate curls that add an elegant touch to the pie.
Serving Suggestions:
This No Bake Peanut Butter Pie is delicious on its own, but you can take it to the next level with a few creative serving suggestions:
- Top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra indulgent treat.
- Serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.
- Garnish with chopped peanuts or peanut butter cups for added crunch and decadence.
Storage:
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, for up to 3 days. However, with its irresistible taste and creamy texture, chances are this pie won’t last long!
