Ingredients
Crust:
2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 stick butter (6 tablespoons), melted
Filling:
1 cup peanut butter
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 tub (12 oz) Cool Whip, divided
1 jar (11.75 oz) hot fudge topping, divided
Topping:
2 tablespoons hot fudge
2 tablespoons peanut butter
Remaining Cool Whip
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Butter a 9-inch pie pan.
- Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix crumbs with sugar and melted butter. Press mixture into the pan to form crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
- In a bowl, beat peanut butter, cream cheese, and sugar until smooth. Fold in 3 cups of Cool Whip until combined. Spread filling evenly in cooled crust.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of hot fudge. Heat remaining hot fudge per package directions and spread over filling. Refrigerate pie until set.
- Before serving, place reserved fudge in a plastic bag, snip corner, and drizzle over pie. Repeat with 2 tablespoons peanut butter. Garnish pie edges with remaining Cool Whip.
Notes
Top with chopped peanut butter cups or chocolate shavings for extra flair.
Use Oreos instead of graham crackers for a richer crust.
Sprinkle chopped salted peanuts on top for a salty-sweet twist.
Can be made a day ahead and refrigerated until serving.
Freeze up to 2 months, thaw in fridge overnight before serving.
