heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

🥗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

1

In a bowl, whip a block of room temperature cream cheese with a hand mixer until fluffy.

2

Add milk a little at a time, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until the cream cheese is creamy.

3

Mix in confectioners sugar and pause to scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate everything.

4

Add creamy peanut butter (or chunky for more texture) and mix well.

5

Fold in 8 to 9 ounces of whipped topping in a couple of batches, taking care to retain the fluffiness.

6

Spoon the mixture into a 9-inch graham cracker crust pie shell and level out the top.

7

Cover and refrigerate the pie for a couple of hours or until firm, or freeze if needed.

8

Decorate the top with finely chopped peanuts, small chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, chocolate or caramel sauce, or candy bar pieces if desired.

9

Use leftover whipped topping to decorate the rim of the pie with a cake decorating kit.
