Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 9-inch pie crust, baked and cooled
Peanut Butter Crumbles
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip
Whipped Topping
- 2 cups sweetened whipped cream or 8 oz Cool Whip
Instructions
- Prepare the peanut butter crumbles: In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set this mixture aside for later use.
- Make the peanut butter filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens significantly.
- Incorporate whipped cream: Gently fold 1 cup of whipped cream or Cool Whip into the thickened pudding mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Assemble the pie layers: Spread half of the prepared peanut butter crumbles evenly over the bottom of the cooled baked pie crust. Then, pour the peanut butter filling on top and spread it out evenly.
- Add the whipped topping: Spread or pipe the 2 cups of sweetened whipped cream or Cool Whip over the top of the peanut butter filling, creating a smooth and fluffy layer.
- Garnish and chill: Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumbles over the whipped cream layer to add a crunchy texture and peanut flavor.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set before slicing and serving. This resting time ensures the flavors meld perfectly and the filling firms up.
Notes
- For best results, use a fully baked and cooled pie crust to avoid sogginess.
- Instant pudding mix can be substituted with homemade pudding, but chilling time may vary.
- Cool Whip can be used as an alternative to whipped cream for convenience.
- Refrigerate leftovers tightly covered; the pie keeps well for 2-3 days.
- For a crunchy crust variation, consider adding crushed peanuts to the pie crust before baking.
