Today's recipe is almost embarrassingly easy. Yet, people always go crazy for this pie! I made this several times in college since it was pretty difficult to bake anything ever, and my friends loved it. It's like taking a no-bake cookie and turning it into a frozen, creamy pie. It reminds me a little bit of an ice-cream cake...minus the cake part. This makes a great spring/summer dessert AND it's pretty inexpensive to make. I always decorate mine with some extra whipped cream and chocolate chips or Reese's pieces. Enjoy!
No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie
(serves 6-8)
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 (8 ounce) package frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 (4 ounce) packages single serve ready-made, fat free, chocolate pudding
1 prepared graham cracker pie crust (I use the Oreo crusts instead)
1/2 cup chocolate & peanut butter chips for garnish (optional, but recommended!!)
In a mixing bowl, combine pudding and peanut butter; stir until smooth. Fold in whipped topping; stir until completely blended.
Pour filling into pie crust. Freeze pie until firm. Top with optional chocolate & peanut butter chips. Partially thaw in refrigerator, for about 2 hours or so, before serving. You can store leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer.
