Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 (8 oz) cream cheese blocks, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (16 oz) tub whipped topping, thawed
  • 15 mini peanut butter cups, chopped (half of 30)

Topping Ingredients

  • 1 (16 oz) tub whipped topping, thawed (remaining half)
  • 15 mini peanut butter cups, chopped (remaining half)

Crust

  • 2 (9-inch) graham cracker crusts

Optional Garnishes

  • Melted chocolate for drizzling
  • Crushed pretzels
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Blend Base: Beat the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter together in a mixing bowl until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Sweeten: Add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Fold In Lightness: Gently fold in one tub (16 oz) of the thawed whipped topping to create a light and fluffy filling without deflating the topping.
  4. Mix Magic: Stir in half of the chopped mini peanut butter cups into the filling to add texture and peanut butter flavor throughout.
  5. Fill & Smooth: Divide the peanut butter filling evenly between the two graham cracker crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula for an even layer.
  6. Top It Off: Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over each pie for a creamy finish, then sprinkle the rest of the chopped peanut butter cups on top for garnish.
  7. Optional Glam: For an extra special touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the tops, sprinkle on crushed pretzels, or add a pinch of flaky sea salt to enhance the flavors.
  8. Chill: Refrigerate the pies for at least 4 hours to allow them to set properly, though overnight chilling is recommended for best flavor and texture before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps.
  • If mini peanut butter cups are unavailable, regular-sized can be chopped finely as a substitute.
  • This recipe is no-bake and ideal for warm weather or when an oven isn’t readily available.
  • Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • To make it gluten-free, confirm the graham cracker crust is gluten-free or substitute with gluten-free crust options.
