Instructions:
Prepare the filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Use a handheld mixer to whip the ingredients until smooth and creamy. This is the handheld mixer I use and love!
Add the Cool Whip: Gently fold in the Cool Whip and mix until the filling is well-combined and fluffy.
Assemble the pie: Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth it out with a spatula. Use my Oreo Pie Crust Recipe for an extra special touch.
Top it off: Drizzle the top of the pie with melted chocolate and butterscotch chips, if desired. Add mini Reese’s cups around the edge of the pie for an extra touch of peanut butter bliss.
Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set.
Notes for the Easy Peanut Butter Pie:
- Chill time is key: Make sure to refrigerate the pie for at least two hours before serving so it can firm up. This step is crucial for getting that perfect slice!
- Leftovers: If you have any leftovers (though I doubt there will be!), cover the pie and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
