Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (or any crust of your choice)
Filling
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Optional Toppings
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Sugar and Vanilla: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract thoroughly, continuing to beat until fully combined and the mixture has a uniform creamy texture.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture to keep the filling light and fluffy, combining fully without deflating the whipped topping.
- Assemble the Pie: Spoon the cream cheese filling evenly into the pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing out the surface for an even layer.
- Add Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, or drizzle peanut butter over the top for added flavor and texture.
- Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly. For best results, chill overnight.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve the pie chilled as a fun and easy dessert that will please a crowd or satisfy a sweet craving.
Notes
- For best texture, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
- This pie can be made with any type of pre-made crust, including Oreo or cookie crusts for variation.
- Customize toppings to suit your taste or omit them to keep it simple.
- Make sure to chill long enough to allow the filling to firm up and slice cleanly.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
