Description
A creamy, nostalgic no-bake dessert featuring a fluffy peanut butter and marshmallow filling nestled in a buttery graham cracker crust, chilled to perfection for an easy, sliceable treat.
Ingredients
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or crushed Nilla wafers)
¼ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup marshmallow fluff (or marshmallow creme)
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
Additional whipped topping or whipped cream (optional)
Mini marshmallows (optional)
Chopped peanuts (optional)
Peanut butter drizzle (optional)
Crushed graham crackers (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Place in the freezer while preparing the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and fully combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until light and fluffy, being careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- Before serving, add desired toppings such as whipped cream, mini marshmallows, chopped peanuts, or a peanut butter drizzle.
Notes
For convenience, use a store-bought graham cracker crust.
Substitute an Oreo crust for a chocolate variation.
Add mini chocolate chips to the filling for extra texture.
Chill overnight for cleaner slices.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freeze individual slices for a firmer, ice-cream-like texture.
