Ingredients
Scale
For the Pie:
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
Instructions
- Make the Peanut Butter Crumble: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1 cup powdered sugar. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until crumbly and not smooth. This mixture will serve as both the base layer and the topping for the pie. Be careful not to overmix to avoid turning the mixture into a paste.
- Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Add 2 cups heavy cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Continue beating until the mixture is light, fluffy, and airy, resembling whipped frosting.
- Prepare the Crust: Spread half of the peanut butter crumble mixture into the bottom of the pre-made graham cracker crust. Gently press it down to form an even crumb layer.
- Make the Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup cold milk and the 3.4 oz package of instant vanilla pudding mix for 2 to 3 minutes until the pudding thickens.
- Combine Layers: Fold the thickened pudding mixture into the whipped cream cheese filling until fully combined and creamy.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the combined cream filling over the peanut butter crumb layer in the crust. Smooth out the top with a spatula for an even finish.
- Top and Chill: Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumble evenly over the top of the pie. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set and develop the best texture.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture in the crumble and filling.
- Chilling the pie overnight improves firmness and flavor melding.
- Do not overmix the peanut butter and powdered sugar crumble to maintain crumbly texture.
- Softened cream cheese is easier to blend and results in a smoother filling.
- This pie is best served chilled and should be kept refrigerated.
