Ingredients
For the crust
- 8 graham crackers broken into pieces
- 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
For the filling
- 1 ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- ⅔ cup crunchy peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 8 ounces frozen fat free whipped topping thawed (I used Cool Whip)
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips for topping
- ¼ cup crushed dry roasted peanuts for topping
Instructions
For the crust
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9″ pie plate with non-stick spray and set aside.
- Break up your graham crackers and put into the food processor. Pulse until you have fine crumbs.
- Pour in the melted butter, sugar, and pinch of salt. Pulse about 6 times until it comes together and your mixture looks like wet sand.
- Pour the graham cracker mixture into the prepared pie plate and press into an even layer. I used the bottom of a measuring cup to help press it down evenly.
- Bake the crust for 13-16 minutes then remove. Cool on a wire rack.
For the filling
- In a small saucepan, add the milk and sugar and cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat, for about 2 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved.
- Transfer to a medium bowl. Add peanut butter and vanilla and whisk until fully combined. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill.
- In a large bowl, add your softened cream cheese. Beat with a mixer, on medium speed, until light and fluffy.
- Add the milk mixture and beat on low until combined.
- Fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully mixed.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Sprinkle the crushed peanuts and mini chocolate chips over the top.
- Place in the freezer, uncovered, for 8 hours (I left mine overnight) or until hard.
- Transfer the pie to the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you’re ready to serve it.
- Top with additional mini chocolate chips, peanuts, and chocolate sauce, if desired.
