  • 1 ½ cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

Toppings:

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to set the crust.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  1. In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups of whipped topping, ensuring the mixture is well-combined but still fluffy.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

  1. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust using a spatula.
  2. Top the pie with chopped peanut butter cups and drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra layer of decadence.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

  1. Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or until fully set.
  2. Before serving, garnish with additional whipped topping.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use high-quality peanut butter for a richer flavor. Avoid natural peanut butter as it may separate.
  • Chill the pie overnight for the best texture and flavor melding.
  • When cutting the pie, dip your knife in hot water for clean slices.
