Ingredients 

  • 1 store-bought chocolate pie shell
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 4 oz. cream cheese softened at room temperature
  • 8 oz. container Cool Whip thawed in the refrigerator
  • crushed peanuts, chocolate syrup, butterscotch syrup for garnishes

Instructions

  • Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat cream cheese until it is smooth.
  • Add the peanut butter and beat until it's fully combined. It will look crumbly while mixing. Smooth it out by stirring it with a spatula.
  • Add the sugar 1/4 at a time. Do this at the slowest mixer speed. Again, it will look crumbly.
  • When it's all combined, smooth it out with a spatula.
  • Fold in the cool whip with a spatula and beat with mixer for 30 seconds until it's fluffy.
  • Pour the peanut butter mixture into the prepared chocolate pie crust and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
  • When the pie is ready to serve, drizzle the top with chocolate and butterscotch syrup and crushed peanuts.

Notes

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips:
  • You can make this pie 1-2 days ahead of time, just keep it in the refrigerator.
  • This pie is also really good frozen. Make the pie, wrap it in plastic wrap and then foil. Garnish it when you are ready to serve it.
  • Try other toppings or garnishes - crushed Oreo cookies, crushed peanut butter cookies, top with whipped cream - be creative.
