- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) cool whip
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
Crust:

Instructions
- In a spacious mixing bowl, blend powdered sugar and softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until achieving a smooth, uniform consistency (approximately 3-5 minutes).

- Gradually fold in whipped topping (cool whip) in two equal portions, ensuring thorough integration and maintaining a light, airy texture.
- Transfer the decadent filling into a prepared graham cracker crust, spreading evenly with a spatula to create a level surface.
- For optimal serving, refrigerate the pie for 60 minutes (1 hour) to allow the filling to set and enhance slicing precision.
- Optional: Before serving, enhance presentation by drizzling melted peanut butter across the pie’s surface and garnishing with a sprinkle of chocolate chips for added visual appeal and flavor complexity.
- Slice the chilled pie into 8 equal wedges (approximately 3.5 inches/9 centimeters wide) using a sharp knife for clean, precise cuts.
Notes

- Mixing peanut butter until it resembles cookie dough texture guarantees rich, concentrated flavor in every bite.
- Fold cool whip gently to maintain its airy consistency and prevent deflating the mixture.
- Refrigerating for an hour helps the pie set, making clean and precise slices easier to achieve.
- Drizzle melted peanut butter or sprinkle chocolate chips just before serving for a professional and delectable presentation.
- Graham cracker crust provides a perfect sweet and crunchy foundation that complements the creamy filling beautifully.
