Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 pre-made chocolate crust pie shell
- 1 tub cool whip
- 1 jar hot fudge sauce
Directions
- Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the room temperature cream cheese, sugar, and creamy peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
- Add Cool Whip: Gently fold in the cool whip into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to keep the filling light and fluffy.
- Assemble Pie: Spoon the filling into the chocolate crust pie shell, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set.
- Serve with Hot Fudge: Before serving, warm the hot fudge sauce according to the jar’s instructions and drizzle over the top of the pie. Optionally, you can add more cool whip or garnish with chocolate shavings or crushed peanuts.
Cook Notes
- For a firmer pie, consider freezing it for 1-2 hours before serving.
- If the hot fudge sauce is too thick, a splash of milk can help thin it to the desired consistency for drizzling.
Variations
- Keto Version: Use a keto-friendly sweetener in place of sugar, a low-carb chocolate crust, and a sugar-free whipped topping.
- Low-Carb Version: Follow the keto version guidelines, ensuring all ingredients are low in carbohydrates.
