This  Easy Peanut Butter Pie is light and creamy and it’s whipped up in just minutes.  After a couple of hours in the refrigerator, it’s a light and refreshing yummy dessert!

I can’t believe Memorial Day is a week away.  If you’re looking for a quick and easy, yet light and refreshing dessert for next weekend, this Easy Peanut Butter Pie will definitely be a winner.  It’s best kept cold until ready to serve, but you can whip it up in no time.

All you need to do is pre-bake an empty pie shell, or you can use a store-bought graham cracker crust.  Then you mix together some cream cheese, peanut butter, milk, sugar and cool whip.  Put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours and it’s ready to eat.  I don’t think you could find a more simple dessert recipe.

If you’re having guests over, you might want to make more than one of these light and creamy pies.  They will quickly disappear.

Tip:  If you make two of them, add some chocolate into one.  You can use a chocolate graham cracker crust, add some miniature chocolate chips to the filling, or sprinkle the top with crushed peanuts and a drizzling of chocolate.  The options are endless.

Here’s the easiest recipe you’ll ever make…

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup milk

1 – 8 ounce container Cool Whip

Additional cool whip for serving on top, optional

Instructions

Add the cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or use an electric mixer.  Beat on medium speed until cream cheese is smooth and creamy and free of all lumps.
