Make the crust by crushing peanut butter sandwich cookies and mixing with melted butter, then press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish and chill. For best results, crush the cookies finely and use a measuring cup to pack the crust tightly so it holds together when sliced.

For the filling, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps in your filling.

Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, creamy peanut butter, and milk until smooth.

Then gently fold in thawed whipped topping to keep the mixture light and airy.

Freeze the pie for at least 3 hours before serving. Before serving, add optional toppings like whipped cream, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

For clean, smooth slices, dip your knife in hot water (then wipe dry).

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 25 peanut butter sandwich cookies
• 5 Tbsp butter melted

For the Pie Filling:

• 8 oz package cream cheese room temperature
• 2 c powdered sugar

• Add 5 Tbsp melted butter to the crushed cookies, and mix well.

• Prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar using a sturdy whisk, hand mixer, or stand mixer.
• Add creamy peanut butter and milk. Mix well.
• Slowly fold in the whipped topping until the filling is well-combined.
• Spoon the filling mixture into the prepared crust.

Notes

To store your pie, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Keep it in the freezer for up to 1 week for a firm, sliceable texture.

If you prefer a softer, mousse-like consistency, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Either way, let it sit at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes before slicing for the best texture and flavor.
