Peanut butter pie

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: cocoa powder + sugar

Dark chocolate has less sugar and can be healthier.

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: neufchâtel cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Neufchâtel has less fat, while ricotta is often less expensive.

powdered sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Coconut sugar is a less processed option.

Start with softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl.

Add powdered sugar to the cream cheese and mix on low speed.

Scrape the bowl to ensure everything is incorporated.

Add peanut butter to the mixture and mix until combined.

Slowly add milk to the mixture and continue mixing until well incorporated.

Remove the mixture from the mixer.

Fold in homemade Cool Whip (or store-bought) gently to avoid deflating it.

Pour the peanut butter mixture into a graham cracker crust.

Optionally, spoon the mixture into a glass if not using a crust.

Place the pie in the freezer until solid.

Once set, slice the pie and serve.
