- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1 cup whipped topping
For Garnish (Optional)

Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter and press the mixture evenly into a pie dish. Chill in the fridge to firm up.
- Mix the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat creamy peanut butter with powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and milk gradually to achieve a creamy consistency.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined, keeping the filling light and airy.
