- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) cool whip
- 1 cup (120 g / 4.2 oz) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Creamy Preparation: Whip cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer until silky smooth, creating a luxurious base for the pie.
- Peanut Butter Fusion: Incorporate peanut butter into the cream cheese mixture, blending thoroughly until the consistency transforms into a rich, velvety filling with deep nutty undertones.
- Aeration and Incorporation: Gently fold whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture in two stages, preserving the light, ethereal texture while ensuring complete integration of ingredients.
- Crust Assembly: Carefully transfer the creamy filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, using a spatula to distribute evenly and create a perfectly leveled surface.
- Chilling and Setting: Refrigerate the pie for approximately one hour, allowing the filling to firm up and develop a delectable, slice-worthy consistency.
- Final Embellishment: Before serving, elevate the pie’s visual appeal by artfully drizzling melted peanut butter across the surface and sprinkling chocolate chips for a gourmet finishing touch.
- Serving: Slice the chilled pie into eight elegant wedges using a sharp knife, ensuring clean, precise cuts that showcase the pie’s luscious interior.
