How to Customize Frozen Peanut Butter Pie

The great thing about this peanut butter pie recipe is how easy it is to customize. Here are a few of our Test Kitchen's favorite ways to dress up each slice.

  • Try adding chocolate chips to the filling. You can use milk or dark chocolate chips in this recipe.
  • Drizzle on chocolate sauce or caramel sauce when serving.
  • Add whipped cream before freezing for another layer of flavor.
  • Top the frozen pie with sliced strawberries or a drizzle of melted jam to play up the flavors of peanut butter and jelly.
  • Use a chocolate graham cracker crust instead of plain.
  • Try using almond butter instead of peanut butter. Top with crushed or sliced almonds.

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

  • 1 (9-inch) prepared graham cracker crust or chocolate cookie crust

  • Chopped peanuts, optional

Directions

  1. Beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed. Add peanut butter and milk. Beat until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.

  2. Spoon into pie crust; cover and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours. Top with chopped peanuts, if desired.
