Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 graham cracker crust (9-inch, store-bought or homemade)
Peanut Butter Layer
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), divided
Marshmallow Layer
- 1 ½ cups marshmallow fluff
- Remaining half container (approximately 4 oz) whipped topping
Optional Toppings
- Chopped peanuts
- Mini marshmallows

Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until fully combined. Gently fold in half of the whipped topping (about 4 oz) until incorporated evenly.
- Assemble the Peanut Butter Layer in the Crust: Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly into the graham cracker crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula for an even layer.
- Prepare the Marshmallow Layer: In a separate bowl, fold the marshmallow fluff into the remaining half of the whipped topping until it is well combined and fluffy.
- Top the Pie: Spread the marshmallow mixture over the peanut butter layer in the crust, creating a smooth, even layer on top.
- Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours or until the layers are set and firm.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with optional toppings such as chopped peanuts, mini marshmallows, or a drizzle of chocolate as desired to enhance flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, substitute the graham cracker crust with an Oreo crust.
- This pie can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator, making it convenient for parties and gatherings.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy mixing and a smooth texture.
- Use a rubber spatula when folding whipped topping to retain its airy texture.
