Peanut Butter Pie

Total Time: 2 hrs 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping (such as cool whip) or 1 1/2 cups whipping cream and 1/4 cup sugar
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 graham cracker crust
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• reese's pieces (for garnish)
• chocolate syrup (for garnish)

Recipe

• 1 if using whipping cream, whip cream with 1/4 cup sugar.
• 2 mix cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until well blended.
• 3 fold in either cool whip or whipped cream (which ever you are using).
• 4 spoon mixture into pie crust.
• 5 chill for several hours in the refrigerator, or if you want it to be more like a frozen treat chill in the freezer several hours before serving. (my family likes peanut butter pie very cold, so i freeze in the freezer for several hours, very good this way!).
• 6 note: i leave just enough of the cool whip or whipped cream to be able to spread a thin layer on the top of the pie and garnish the top with reese's pieces and drizzle chocolate syrup over top; makes a pretty presentation!
