Total Time: 4 hrs 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
- Chopped peanuts for garnish
Instructions
- Remove the pre-made pie crust from refrigeration and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to prevent cracking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture, ensuring it's evenly incorporated and creates a light, creamy consistency.
- Carefully spread the peanut butter mixture into the pie crust, using a spatula to create an even surface. Make sure to spread the filling to the edges of the crust.
- Drizzle the chocolate syrup in a decorative pattern over the top of the pie filling.
- Sprinkle chopped peanuts around the edges or across the top of the pie for added texture and garnish.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
- Before serving, remove the pie from the refrigerator 10-15 minutes prior to slicing to soften slightly.
- Cut into 8 equal slices and serve chilled. Optional: Add an extra drizzle of chocolate syrup on individual slices if desired.
Tips
- Room Temperature is Key: Let your pre-made pie crust sit out for 15 minutes to prevent cracking and ensure smooth spreading.
- Mixing Magic: Use an electric mixer when combining peanut butter and powdered sugar to achieve a perfectly smooth consistency.
- Folding Technique: Gently fold whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture to maintain a light, airy texture.
- Chill for Success: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
- Garnish with Flair: Don't skip the chopped peanuts and chocolate drizzle—they add texture and visual appeal.
- Serving Tip: Remove the pie from the refrigerator 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier slicing.
- Make Ahead: This pie is perfect for preparing in advance, making it ideal for gatherings and potlucks!
