Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 8 ounces Low-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (natural or reduced-fat)
• 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 8 ounces Frozen light whipped topping, thawed
• 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings or chips (optional garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is evenly coated and resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture into a 9-inch pie pan, evenly covering the bottom and sides to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully incorporated, being careful not to overmix to maintain the light texture.

Step 7

Spoon the peanut butter mixture into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. For best results, chill overnight.

Step 9

Once set, garnish the pie with dark chocolate shavings and crushed peanuts, if desired.

Step 10

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your lightened-up peanut butter pie!
