Dolly Parton’s Peanut Butter Pie
Makes 2 pies


Ingredients:

1 1⁄2 cups powdered sugar
8 ounces cream cheese (brick style) let it soften to room temperature or otherwise, your filling will be lumpy
16 ounces Cool Whip (thawed in refrigerator)
1 cup creamy peanut butter (Do not use natural peanut butter. It will make the filling oily and gritty.)
2 graham cracker crusts (without problem ingredients) or make your own


Directions:

1. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until smooth and creamy then add the powdered sugar and mix well.

2. Add peanut butter and beat on medium-high speed until well blended, light and fluffy.

3. Fold in Cool Whip until fully incorporated. This mixture is very stiff and takes some time to blend in the Cool Whip. It is easier to blend in 1/2 of the Cool Whip first and then the other half. Pour the filling into the crust and chill overnight until filling is set and firm.

4. Garnish with extra whipped topping and chopped peanuts

NOTES: This pie freezes well. Just let it stand at room temperature about 15 minutes before serving.
