Ingredients
– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

Equipment Needed
– 9-inch pie pan
– Mixing bowls
– Electric mixer (or whisk)
– Rubber spatula

Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preparing the crust. In a mixing bowl, I combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, mixing until moistened like damp sand. Then, I press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of my pie pan. I let it set in the fridge for about 10 minutes to firm up—this little step makes a big difference in texture!
