The recipe for this deliciously rich peanut butter pie came from my great-grandmother, and it’s been handed down through the years. Though the recipe has changed a bit over time, it's always remained a staple in my family. You can’t stop at just one piece—and who would want to with a pie this good!

Ingredients

1 cup Peter Pan peanut butter (creamy or chunky depending on your liking)
1 (8-ounce) tub Cool Whip
1 (8-ounce) package Philadelphia cream cheese
1 (8-inch / 6-ounce) Oreo pie crust
1 (6.5-ounce) can Reddi-Wip Original (optional topping)
1 (1.5-ounce) Hershey milk chocolate bar (optional garnish)
1 (24-ounce) bottle Hershey chocolate syrup (optional garnish)

Tools

1 large bowl and spoon
Cheese grater (for optional chocolate bar garnish)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and cream cheese. Stir until fully combined.
Fold in the Cool Whip a quarter tub at a time (do not overmix).
Pour the mixture into the pie crust and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours (or overnight).
Optional garnishes: Add a healthy layer of Reddi-Wip and a few drizzles of chocolate syrup. Carefully shave the desired amount of chocolate bar over the pie for a sweet decoration.
