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 bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set this aside for layering.
- Make the peanut butter filling: In a separate bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter together vigorously for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Incorporate whipped cream: Gently fold 1 cup of whipped cream or Cool Whip into the thickened pudding mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Assemble the pie layers: Spread half of the prepared peanut butter crumbles evenly over the bottom of the baked and cooled 9-inch pie crust. Pour the peanut butter cream filling over the crumbles and spread it out evenly to cover.
- Add the whipped topping: Generously spread or pipe the 2 cups of sweetened whipped cream or Cool Whip over the peanut butter filling layer to form a fluffy topping.
- Finish with remaining crumbles: Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumbles evenly over the whipped cream topping for a crunchy, decorative finish.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set and flavors to meld before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can use Cool Whip instead of homemade whipped cream for convenience.
- Make sure the pie crust is fully baked and cooled before assembling to avoid sogginess.
- For extra texture, consider using crunchy peanut butter in the filling.
- Refrigerate the pie up to 24 hours before serving for best flavor and texture.
- Slice the pie with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices.
